Doxa teams with Watches of Switzerland to launch the Doxa Army Watches of Switzerland Edition, a black ceramic-cased version of a matte black steel Doxa military watch from the 1960s.
Like that now highly collectible Doxa Army watch, the re-edition is also finished in matte black, which recalls the original model’s role as a watch designed to reduce glare during active military duty.
The original model was one of the very first watches to use a coating process (oxidation) that at the time was relatively new to the watchmaking industry. 
Doxa also echoes the sand-beige dial of the original model on this re-issue, framing it with a matte black diving bezel that matches the 42.5mm by 44.5mm case. Inside Doxa fits a COSC-certified automatic Sellita movement. 
Doxa is also packaging the watch with box sporting the original camouflage pattern used by the Swiss Army at the time the watch debuted. The box includes two straps: one made from black FKM rubber and one NATO strap with a camouflage pattern.
Watches of Switzerland offers the new Doxa Army Watches of Switzerland Edition in a limited edition of 100 pieces. 
We expect this nicely considered homage to Doxa’s rich military-watch history to sell very quickly, especially in light of the always active Doxa collector community.
