Review of Doxa Grafic Open Heart watch
Doxa is a watch company that is famous for making a retro style diving watch with orange dial. Following the success of this model, Doxa keeps launching new models that are quite similar to it. While not having a big big name in watch field, Doxa has an adorable history of making some other interesting stuff.
Here I would like to the the Doxa Grafic Open Heart watch-one of the brand’s 2010 new watch offerings. This watch feels quite simple at first sight. But take a closer look, you may discover not a few interesting designs.
If I am not wrong, the watch got lots of inspiration from the brand’s design dated back to 1950s. It seems that those designers has used up all imagination. In desperation, they went back to 1950s to get charged. I feel that they directly used the case design.
The steel case is a rectangle sized at 40x43mm. And the black dial is a standard square.The off center dial is set off by those big asymmetric baton hour markers. And the impeccably center-placed hands save it from looking skewed.I love the red seconds hand as it brightens up the dial and makes it look much nicer. There is open dial revealing the balance wheel of the Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. And I have to say the designers did a great job in fitting this window.
The watch dial is also available in brown and silver. But I love the black version best. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, and the watch case is watch resistant to a depth of 30 meters.
The watch goes for several thousand dollars. Think it twice though the watch face is quite attractive.
