Late last year we brought you news that Doxa was bringing the Sub 300 into regular production in no less than 6 different dial colors. We reviewed the silver Searambler and came away celebrating the decision to do so, even at the expense of ruffling a few feathers from the LE released a few years earlier. Today, Doxa is once again bringing a limited edition Sub 300 into regular production in the form of the new Forged Carbon series of Sub 300 watches. This time, the differences are notable enough to be distinguishable at a glance, so Carbon Aqua Lung owners can breathe a bit easier (heh), but it does leave us asking if the Sub 300 has gone too far.

The Carbon Sub 300 is the same Sub 300 we know and love in terms of shape and dimension, with the same cushion case released in 1967 and vibrant orange dial. Like the steel collection, the carbon series is offered in 6 different dial colors: Divingstar (yellow); Professional (classic orange); Sharkhunter (black); Searambler (silver); Aquamarine (teal); and Caribbean (navy). The big difference here is the case, which is now rendered in forged carbon with a titanium movement chamber and caseback. 
We first saw a forged carbon Sub 300 in this limited edition, which featured a black dial with yellow accents, along with the historic Aqua Lung logo applied at 7:30 on the dial. This is a configuration that you won?t find on the regular production carbon models, keeping plenty of distance between the two.
