Marking the 75th anniversary of UAE\u2019s leading luxury retailer, <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/category\/ahmed-seddiqi-sons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ahmed Seddiqi &amp; Sons<\/a>, cult brand <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/category\/doxa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Doxa<\/a> launches a special edition that brings the brand\u2019s 1973-born SUB 250 into sharp contemporary focus while keeping its tool-watch soul intact. The new Doxa SUB 250 is a compact diver that wears its story on the wrist: Swiss diving heritage meets Dubai\u2019s modern luxury, with a special engraving on the caseback as a quiet signature of intent.<\/p>\n<p>What surprises most is that, if you look at the current catalogue of Doxa, a time-only SUB 250 doesn\u2019t exist. The name was brought back on the map recently, with <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/diving-with-the-new-doxa-sub-250t-gmt-video-review-specs-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the mid-size SUB 250 GMT watch<\/a>, which sits in-between <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/2020-doxa-sub-300-cosc-collection-6-colours-hands-on-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the classic SUB 300<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/new-doxa-sub-200t-collection-more-compact-39mm-case-video-review-specs-price\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">smaller SUB 200T<\/a> in terms of size and water-resistance. This Seddiqi limited edition is thus the first non-GMT SUB 250, making it quite special indeed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Doxa-SUB-250-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-6.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-287921 lazy-images\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Doxa-SUB-250-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-6.jpg\"  data-\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The case comes first, as it should with a purpose-built diver. Milled from a solid block of 316L stainless steel in Doxa\u2019s signature cushion form, it measures 40mm by 42.9mm and stands 11.95mm tall, with crisp planes, well-defined bevels, and a screw-down crown at 3 o\u2019clock. A flat sapphire crystal keeps the profile taut, and the watch remains a true instrument with 250m of water-resistance. Doxa\u2019s patented unidirectional rotating bezel carries a no-decompression scale in black with Eastern Arabic numerals, an immediate cue that this edition has a distinct, place-specific voice. The screw-down caseback bears two statements of purpose: a prominent 75 and the motto Where Legacy Meets Luxury which gives the watch its theme.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Doxa-SUB-250-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-287918 lazy-images\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Doxa-SUB-250-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-3.jpg\"  data-\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A cherry-red sunray finish recalls Dubai\u2019s blazing horizon, setting a vivid field for sand-gold-coloured hands and applied indexes treated with Super-LumiNova for legibility in low light. The date at 3 o\u2019clock uses a disc with Eastern Arabic numerals to mirror the bezel, unifying the display with a culturally resonant touch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new Doxa SUB 250 Seddiqi is powered by the automatic Sellita SW300 movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations\/hour with a power reserve of approximately 56 hours \u2013 an improvement over the <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/the-history-of-the-eta-2824-the-mundane-calibre-that-shaped-the-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ETA 2824<\/a> and Sellita SW200 we\u2019ve come to expect from the brand. The movement is finished to Doxa\u00b4s specifications and was chosen for reliability and serviceability, exactly what a commemorative tool watch deserves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Doxa-SUB-250-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-287919 lazy-images\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Doxa-SUB-250-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-4.jpg\"  data-\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The watch is offered on a classic stainless-steel beads-of-rice bracelet with a folding clasp and dive extension, and is supplied with a black FKM rubber strap, also with extension. Limited to 75 individually numbered pieces and available exclusively at Ahmed Seddiqi boutiques, this SUB 250 is not just a dial swap; it\u2019s a model of its own (for now at least). The price is AED 12,000.
