WHY WE LOVE IT 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 praise. When we discovered this stunning rose gold DOXA Gent’s Tank watch from the 1940s, we knew we found a proper horological treasure. With a stunning Deco-style case, brushed silver dial with applied indices and ornate Arabic ’12’ and a slimline manual-wind movement with center seconds and anti-magnetic shielding, this lovely dress piece hits far above its weight class! If you ask us, this is one great way to get a classic piece from a storied brand that perfectly demonstrates the quality and design of their pre-sports watch era.
