The 50th book is not an update to the 40th. Aside from including the last 10 yearsÕ models it also has a number of stories which illustrate why the DOXA SUB truly is an icon. Dirk Cussler on why Dirk Pitt wears a DOXA SUB, Bruno Capello on working with Jacques Cousteau, John GŽnart on the early days of the DOXA SUB development and Ty Alley on the Mission 31 DOXA SUBs used by Fabian Cousteau.
Another addition is a section on dial icons. Over the span of 50 years, the DOXA SUB has been associated with numerous diving equipment companies and organisations including: US Divers, Spirotechnique, TUSA, Poseidon, NUMA and Project Aware. Their logos were displayed in the lower left quadrant on DOXA SUB dials. It is another tradition which distinguishes the DOXA SUB.
But what really sets A 50 Year Journey apart is the introduction by Rick Marei. After over 20 years at the helm of the DOXA SUB rebirth and resurgence, RickÕs tenure is coming to an end. There was no better time for him to tell the fascinating story on how he took a chance on what was almost a forgotten iconic watch and brought it back to a position of prominence in the dive watch world. It was a new start, but for Rick and the rest of us who were involved in the journey, after 50 years, it is not the end, it is just the end of the beginning., , , Peter Millar| | 310PAGES
