Doxa added polished steel bezel versions to its SUB 200 collection in May 2025. They sit alongside the earlier sapphire-protected bezel option, rather than replacing it: the main change is a flatter, more visibly marked bezel insert that gives the watch a more technical appearance. The launch coverage also lists eight dial colours and bracelet, rubber-strap and, for Sea Emerald, NATO configurations.
What changed on the Doxa SUB 200?
The change is the bezel insert. The new version uses polished steel, with a flatter profile and more pronounced scale markings. As a visual impression, that flatter treatment can make the watch look slimmer and its dial appear larger; it does not change the case dimensions. The earlier option has a more domed, transparent effect beneath sapphire protection.
Monochrome Watches’ May 5, 2025 release coverage presents the polished steel bezel as an additional SUB 200 choice, not a retrofit or a replacement for the existing treatment. The collection was introduced in 2019, according to the article. Monochrome Watches’ launch article describes the SUB 200 as Doxa’s entry-level 200 m dive watch, combining vintage design touches with modern proportions.
Case and bezel specifications
The 2025 steel-bezel versions retain the SUB 200 case dimensions reported in the launch coverage. The case is stainless steel, with a domed sapphire crystal; a screw-down crown and screw-in caseback accompany the stated 200 m water-resistance rating.

Eight dial colours and their strap options
Monochrome’s launch coverage lists eight dial colours. It describes Sea Emerald as sunray-brushed and the other seven as matte. The standard steel-bezel configurations pair each colour with either a beads-of-rice stainless-steel bracelet or a matching FKM rubber strap.

Movement and functions
The launch article reports an automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement, with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds and the date. Monochrome characterizes the movement as easy to service and as a clone of the ETA 2824; those are the article’s descriptions, rather than independently established specifications here.
