A couple of examples of watch designs that were created for DOXA Watches and Stowa Watches that have been produced.
DOXA SUB 300 T-GRAPH
10 Year Anniversary Edition [2011]
The SUB 300 T-GRAPH Anniversary model’s design was based on one of my original design ideas I created in 2005 for a new SUB.
The released edition was altered slightly from the original designs, with different bezel layout, slightly different sub dials and different second hand.

Evolution of the SUB
A case study of the DOXA SUB 5000T
[Creation Date: 2006-2007]
[Creation Date: 2006-2007]
Original Conceptual Design Idea for the SUB 5000T "Conquistador"
The watch was originally meant to be the "Conquistador", but unfortunately there was another company who'd registered the name (even though it was originally used by DOXA back in the day).
My original concept for the SUB 5000T was “the evolution of the world's best dive watch”. I wanted to make a modern looking, practical, professional dive tool while still retaining the DOXA heritage. I wanted to lose the date window as I wanted all markers on the dial to have Super-LumiNova, as one doesn't need to know what the date is when one is underwater, whereas a dial with all markers having Super-LumiNova is way more vital, especially on night dives or low visibility diving. I also wanted to beef up the minute and hour hands to give a bolder design while also having more Super-LumiNova on the hands. I also wanted an “oyster” style strap, to change the look of the watch totally. |
Final Design That Went Into Production for the SUB 5000T "Seaconqueror"
The final design that went into production was changed from my original concept, and I had to add a date window in and the hand were changed back to original style DOXA hands with the dwarf hour hand. The bracelet design was changed to a more modern rice bead style bracelet.

The final watch came out very well and was popular. After the SUB 5000T run of limited edition sold out it was reborn as the SUB 6000T until that limited edition sold out as well.

AQUASTAR
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IDEAS
The Aquastar Benthos is a watch I've always want to remake.
The concept of how it functions makes it a great dive tool.
These design ideas are my homage to a new concept design version, one of which I'd love to see built.
