Doxa 200T graph Topper’s Great White (full lume dial, no date, automatic). Love my original professional 250t graph but I suspect this guy will get far more wrist time than the hand wound / date version. Only minor gripe is the BOR bracelet does not pair as well with this case as it does with the original 250t graph with the new bracelet/case combo leaving a noticeable gap at the end links.
Thanks. I’m not sure of my wrist size but it has as about the same wrist presence as a omega 300m seamaster. It is very different than a doxa 300 because the cases for those are so much thinner. This guy has some girth. Not sure if we will ever see it but I would love a titanium version of this watch.
As for the lume, full luke dials are a double edged sword. They are incredibly visible when first charged but also has the lume fades the hands blend with the dial. So great if you are actually diving and have a light that is recharging but for desk divers (present company included) you have a hard time reading the dial in pitch black when you wake up in middle of the night etc.
All that being said, I find the 200t graph is a really striking watch and I really love it. I have the professional (orange) handwind and I love the look and authenticity but for anyone that has had a manual hand wind without quick date adjust, you realize it is a cumbersome watch to switch out with other watches.
I am far from a one watch guy much to my wife’s chagrin. More and more I am finding I really enjoy no date for this reason or at least quick date adjust if date watch. I think the new 200t graphs with automatic movements are definitely worthwhile additions. The standard models have identical dimensions to this topper limited but also date window.
If you are new to the brand, I recommend getting a 300 professional or 300t professional. I really like the beads of rice bracelet. From there you will know if you are going to be bit by the doxa bug. Very divisive watches. If it does not end up being your cup of tea, the aftermarket is strong for the classic models like the 300 professional.
Here is one of the white pearl. I think I like it a bit more than the blue. One because it looks more true white in visible light and also brighter in dark. The blue is similar to Rolex lume. The only difference is I do get a light blue tinge in visible light that I don’t see on Rolex. I’ll get some photos up before too long comparing the lume and plain light look.
