New Orange Diver

[Nanuq]

I ran across a piece I've never heard of, the Emmegi SeaMagnum 300. What caught my eye was the near exact copy of a Doxa SUB 300, with some significant differences.

 

I know the Jenny story and all the spun-off parts to Squale, Auricoste, Spirotechnique and Doxa of course. But this one is different. Think Blancpain FF Barakuda meets Berios Squale Master meets Omega SM300.

 

But this sultry beauty wears a 19mm BOR bracelet, and her dimensions are a couple percent smaller all around than a Doxa 300 of the era, although the parts and construction are otherwise identical. Gorgeous, and elusive.

 

I googled a long time and the only history I can find is this one watch. With this build quality and attention to detail, there's got to be more to the story. I've got time and a search engine.

 

Until then, here are a few shots. The dial is absolutely pristine but has a rough texture. Today I figured that out... she's reflective over the entire orange surface. I've never seen that before either. What an obscure beauty.

Nice discovery Minty, I love how the light reflects on that orange. So which factory is going to produce these for us? Even a decent Doxa rep would be welcome

I like that! Got that classic seiko diver look! Same shape as my blue lagoon turtle I’ve got, that orange looks the nuts! Like a giant sun in the middle ??

A good looker. Should be highly visible in that Alaskan snow should you lose it. Wear it well.

There really was a boom on these divers watches in the 60's early 70's, so many niche brands and this is a new one to me. Nice dial, nice watch!
