For those of you who've been lurking around the site for a while, you know that we're pretty passionate about DOXA.  Generally, we herald the brand's groundbreaking work with the Sub 300 — the watch the changed the face of dive watches and SCUBA history forever — but every once in a while, we find an earlier piece worthy of the same laud.

The DOXA Grafic debuted in 1957 and featured a heavy Bauhaus inspiration on the classic square dress watch. Yes, we know it's not the funky orange-dialed diver that captured our hearts and the hearts of many, but let us explain why this piece is equally intriguing.

This piece features a 30mm gold plated, square case with a polished bezel, an acrylic crystal and a charming silver dial that has developed a champagne patina. Like all DOXA Grafic's, this piece features thin, printed lines emanating from the center of the dial; each demarcating its respective hour index. The dial is complemented by a matching, gold-tone 'stick' handset and the signature word-mark placement in the lower right corner of the dial.

Powered by a manual-winding movement, this piece comes outfitted on a brown leather strap with gold-tone matching pin buckle. While its diver siblings are the better option while donning a wetsuit, this DOXA will serve you better while wearing a regular suit, or our favorite way to wear a dress watch, with jeans and a t-shirt.

Looking for a two-watch solution with DOXA on the dial, you can't go wrong with any SUB 300 diver and this Grafic dress watch!
