On Monday night, Melbourne opened its arms – and uncorked many, many bottles of Four Pillars Gin, the best gin in the world – in celebration of the fact that, finally, dive watch kings Doxa have a home in this country. Fittingly for a brand that is dive watch royalty, the crowd of 120+ drank like sailors and gathered in droves around the treasure chest display of the 2019 collection. There were SUB 200 models in all six colours, with three released since Baselworld. Six SUB 300T models, again with another three dial colours dropped. And there were a range of large and in charge 1500T models, adding some serious heft and size to the range offering. The cabinets also contained three Limited Edition models; the discontinued and limited 1200T, the astonishing 200 T.Graph, powered by a historical mid-70s Valjoux 7734 movement, and of course, the Golden Boy itself. The solid gold 200 T.Graph in 18K gold, also rocking a Valjoux 7734 movement which is limited to just 13 pieces.
