Tickbait: The Legend Lives On: DOXA Honors Clive Cussler with the SUB 750T Special Edition

On what would have been Clive Cussler’s 94th birthday, DOXA has released a timepiece that celebrates not just a shared legacy, but a shared sense of adventure. The new SUB 750T Clive Cussler marks the third tribute in DOXA’s ongoing homage to the famed author and explorer, whose beloved character Dirk Pitt famously wore a bold orange-dial DOXA in the 2005 film Sahara. With just 94 numbered pieces, this special edition is a salute to the man who helped elevate DOXA from cult favorite to a globally recognized symbol of maritime exploration.

The SUB 750T Clive Cussler stands apart with a slimmer 45mm case—just 11.95mm thick—offering a lighter, more ergonomic presence on the wrist. While it retains the collection’s iconic professional-grade DNA, it introduces meaningful nods to Cussler’s life: a compass rose engraved on the caseback, a subtle NUMA logo at 7:30, and special date numerals in orange. Powered by a Swiss automatic movement with a 56-hour power reserve and water resistance to 750 meters, it’s built for depth, both literal and metaphorical.

More than a commemorative edition, this watch is a story in itself—about fiction and fact, the power of a well-told tale, and the tools that accompany true adventurers. A portion of proceeds will benefit NUMA, the marine exploration nonprofit Cussler founded. As Dirk Cussler puts it, “That spirit is perfectly captured in this DOXA timepiece that bears his name.” For fans of the author, the watch, or the lure of the deep, the SUB 750T Clive Cussler offers a fitting companion for your next great journey.

DOXA is also available at Watches of Switzerland, MAYORS, and Betteridge.
