It combines a 40 mm case with a manufacturer-stated 600 m water-resistance rating, and lets buyers vary dial color, bezel insert, and strap or bracelet. Monochrome Watches’ contemporaneous review described a substantial, angular watch with strong wrist presence; that is its assessment, not a universal fit verdict.
What changed with the 2021 SUB 600T
DOXA presents the SUB 600T as a revival of a design associated with the 1980s. The 2021 stainless-steel collection followed the limited titanium SUB 600T Pacific Blue and was described as a non-limited addition to the SUB range. DOXA’s collection description lists steel or black ceramic bezel inserts, seven colors, and a steel bracelet or matching NATO strap. DOXA’s SUB 600T collection page
There is a color-count mismatch between the official collection description and Monochrome’s 2021 review: DOXA says seven colors, while Monochrome names six—Orange Professional, Silver Searambler, Black Sharkhunter, Navy Blue Caribbean, Yellow Divingstar, and Turquoise Aquamarine. Monochrome counts 24 combinations from those six colors, two attachment choices, and two bezel choices. The sources do not explain the discrepancy, so confirm which colors are offered for the specific configuration and market you are considering.
Specifications and construction
DOXA’s current SUB 600T Professional product page lists a Swiss automatic, self-winding movement with 38 hours of power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). It gives a 40.00 mm case diameter, 47.60 mm length, and 14.15 mm height. Construction includes a stainless-steel case, screw-down caseback and crown, and sapphire crystal. DOXA states water resistance of 60 ATM / 600 m / 1,970 ft; this is the manufacturer’s rating, not an independent dive-test result. DOXA SUB 600T Professional specifications

Monochrome’s 2021 review identifies the movement as the Sellita SW 200-1, with 26 jewels, 4 Hz frequency, and a 38-hour reserve. The current DOXA product copy cited above describes the movement but does not name its caliber, so the caliber and jewel count here are attributed to Monochrome.

What Monochrome’s review says about wearing it
Monochrome characterizes the case as blocky and angular, with notable presence and weight on the wrist. Its review says, “It’s not a particularly small watch, primarily due to the shape of its case and its unmistakable weight on the wrist.” That is the publication’s qualitative impression; the cited review does not provide a measured weight or establish how the watch will fit every wrist.

- Luminous: Luminescent hands and hour markers, excellent night brightness
- Features: Japanese quartz movement, no need hand winding, unidirectional rotating bezel, premium 316L stainless steel, mineral crystal glass with protruding magnifying glass, screw-in crown, double safety buckle
- Size: 41 mm case diameter, 48 mm lugs to lugs length, 13 mm thickness, 20 mm lug width, 163g weight. Fits wrists up to 8.5 inches, great fit for a variety of wearing needs
- Usage Care: Keep 3+ inches from phones, speakers, microwaves – strong magnetic fields disrupt movement. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Prevent hard impacts/vibrations
The review also points to a serrated bezel edge for grip, a matte dial, luminous indexes, an oversized minute hand, and a date at three o’clock. It notes a matching blue ceramic bezel on the navy model, while ceramic inserts on other colors are black. Monochrome’s video description frames the design as a rugged, powerful return of a vintage model and says it reviewed the collection; this is the publisher’s framing, not independent performance evidence. The video was published on November 30, 2021. Monochrome Watches’ SUB 600T video review
How to choose a color, bezel, and attachment
Start with the dial color
The named options in Monochrome’s review range from the bright Orange Professional and Yellow Divingstar to Silver Searambler, Black Sharkhunter, Navy Blue Caribbean, and Turquoise Aquamarine. Choose by the look you want and how readily you can read the hands and markers against that dial; the cited review does not provide comparative legibility measurements. Because the official collection page lists seven colors but the review names six, verify the live color selection for your region rather than assuming every listed dial is available in every configuration.
Rank #3
- BOLD BLUE SUNBURST DIAL WITH DIVER-INSPIRED AESTHETICS — The MTP-VD01D-2BV features a sporty design with a robust silver-tone case and a captivating blue dial — the sunburst finish catches light dynamically throughout the day, shifting from deep navy to vibrant blue depending on the angle. Large luminous Arabic numerals and bold hour markers deliver instant legibility whether indoors or out.
- FULL STAINLESS STEEL — CASE & BRACELET — The silver-tone stainless steel case and matching stainless steel band with fold-over clasp give the MTP-VD01D-2BV a solid, premium-feeling build that sits well above its price point on the wrist. Case dimensions are 48 × 42 × 10.7mm — a mid-to-large footprint with a slim profile that transitions from casual to smart-casual wear with ease.
- DATE DISPLAY | 3-HAND ANALOG | ±20 SEC ACCURACY — Features a date display and stainless steel band. Three hands — hour, minute, and second — with accuracy of ±20 seconds per month, tighter than the ±30 seconds typical of most entry-level analog watches. The clean dial layout keeps time reading simple and immediate at a glance.
- 50M WATER RESISTANT — BUILT FOR DAILY WEAR — Water resistant to 50 meters — suitable for everyday water exposure, hand washing, splashing, and swimming in shallow water. A practical, real-world level of protection for an everyday dress-sport watch at an accessible price point.
- SR626SW 3-YEAR BATTERY | MINERAL GLASS | FOLD-OVER CLASP — Powered by an SR626SW battery with an approximate 3-year life, the MTP-VD01D-2BV requires minimal maintenance for years of reliable daily use. Mineral glass protects the blue dial from everyday scratches. Available in Blue (MTP-VD01D-2BV), Black (MTP-VD01D-1BV), White (MTP-VD01D-7EV), and Gold-tone (MTP-VD01G-1BV) variants.
Choose steel or ceramic bezel by appearance
The steel-inlay option keeps the bezel visually closer to the stainless-steel case. Ceramic gives the bezel a different visual accent: Monochrome notes that the navy version has a matching blue ceramic insert, whereas ceramic inserts on the other reviewed colors are black. Both are unidirectional bezel options in DOXA’s current product description; the sources do not establish a comparative durability or performance advantage.
Pick the bracelet or NATO strap
The steel bracelet adds a folding clasp and wetsuit extension; the NATO option uses a pin buckle and quick-release spring bars. Monochrome’s 2021 launch pricing showed a CHF 40 increase for the bracelet over rubber at either bezel level. That historical comparison does not establish today’s price difference or availability. The official collection page describes matching NATO straps, while the current Professional page gives details for a NATO strap; check the exact product listing for the configuration being sold.

- DIVER-INSPIRED DESIGN — Inspired by the sea, the MDV-106G is styled after classic dive watches and delivers 200-meter water resistance at an unbeatable price point. The black resin band and stainless steel case give it a classic look, while the anti-reverse rotary bezel adds authentic dive-watch character.
- STAINLESS STEEL CASE WITH SCREW-LOCK CROWN & CASEBACK — The MDV-106G features a stainless steel case and a reliable screw-lock crown for enhanced water resistance protection. Screw-down crown and screw-lock caseback work together to keep the movement sealed and secure during water activities — a construction standard found on dive watches far above this price range.
- LARGE FLUORESCENT HANDS & INDICES FOR INSTANT READABILITY — The dial features hands and hour indices with large fluorescent areas for easy reading in low-light and underwater conditions. The clean 3-hand analog layout with date display at 3 o'clock keeps the dial uncluttered and immediately legible at a glance.
- 44MM STAINLESS STEEL CASE | 22MM LUG WIDTH | MINERAL GLASS — The case measures 44mm in diameter, 12mm in height, with a 49mm lug-to-lug length and a standard 22mm lug width — making strap upgrades effortless with a vast range of aftermarket options. Mineral glass protects the dial from everyday scratches and impacts.
- 3-YEAR BATTERY & 200M WATER RESISTANCE — Powered by an SR626SW battery with an approximate 3-year life, the case measures 49.5 × 46.3 × 12.1mm and weighs 92 grams.

What this review can—and cannot—establish
The manufacturer’s current specification page establishes the stated dimensions, movement behavior, construction details, and 600 m rating. Monochrome supplies the historical launch prices and its own visual and wearing impressions. Neither source, as cited here, establishes independent accuracy results, measured wrist weight, or independent dive testing. Treat the water-resistance figure as DOXA’s specification and the on-wrist comments as one publication’s assessment.
