拍品专文

Doxa watches have gained cult status in the collecting community for having some of the most capable and storied dive watches ever made. Known for everything from technical innovations like helping to develop the helium escape valve to being the favored watch of Jacques Cousteau, these dive watches often feature large cushion or tonneau shaped cases with bright colored dials and bezel accents. These legendary watches have even been immortalized as the watch of choice for the fictional character Dirk Pitt in novels by Clive Cussler. Cutting edge for its time, the comfortable and supple beads of rice bracelet features a stretch link for for comfort, and a diver extension in the clasp.

The Original Owner: A Former Navy E.O.D. Diver
This incredible example was indeed a professional tool of a former Navy E.O.D. diver whose career took him all over the world. In the summer of 1967 while aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, he befriended a pair of Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician (E.O.D.) divers who introduced him scuba diving. Shortly after, he applied to the program and after nearly a year of training, the original owner of this piece spent the next twenty years of his career rising in the ranks and becoming a Master E.O.D technician. During that time, he received top secret clearance, he was qualified to disarm any explosive ordinance such as a nuclear explosive, and achieved many other impressive qualifications. In his own words, his career brought him to some "very exotic places, some that I would not like to return to." This watch as well as the Tudor Oyster ref. 7016/0 and Blancpain "No Rad" that are offered in the current online sale were all part of the original owner's tool watches..
