The Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition is the third instalment in a California-driven collaboration between Doxa and Santa Rosa retailer Topper Jewelers — and the most technically impressive of the series yet. Inspired by the rugged Farallon Islands off the coast of Northern California and the great white sharks that inhabit the surrounding waters, the new model continues the established "Great White" series, combining a distinctive white-and-blue color scheme with details tailored to professional diving. It also does something the previous editions could not: the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White deploys the newly revived T.Graph chronograph platform, bringing a functioning dive chronograph to a colourway that previously sat only on time-only models. Limited to 100 individually numbered pieces at $4,690, it is available exclusively from Topper Jewelers. A portion of every sale goes to the Greater Farallones Association, which protects the marine ecosystem around the Farallon Islands.

The Topper Great White Series: Three Watches, One Mission
To understand what the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition represents, you need the context of the two watches that came before it. Topper Jewelers launched the Great White series with the SUB 300T Great White — a time-only diver on the 300T platform — which sold out almost immediately and established the collaboration's visual language: fully lumed white dial, navy blue lacquer accents, custom caseback art, no date. The second edition was the SUB 250T GMT Great White (December 2025, $2,990, 100 pieces), which added a second time zone to the white-and-blue formula and sold out equally fast.
Each edition features the same white-and-blue livery inspired by the Pacific's apex predators. Each omits the date complication. Each engraves a new custom artwork on the caseback. And each donates a portion of proceeds to the Greater Farallones Association. The Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition follows every one of those traditions — and adds a working chronograph for the first time. This new 100-piece limited edition arrives on the heels of the long-awaited return of Doxa's beloved diving chronograph, the T.Graph, which was re-introduced to the Doxa catalog in June of 2026.
The Case: Doxa's Cushion Shape at 42mm
The SUB T.Graph II retains the functional characteristics that made the original model a favorite among divers. Water-resistant to 200 meters, the 42mm brushed steel case houses the Sellita SW 510 Elaboré automatic chronograph movement.
The case is 316L stainless steel in Doxa's signature elliptical-cushion shape — the same form the brand has used across the SUB family since the original 1969 models. At 14.6mm thick and 44.5mm lug-to-lug, this is not a small watch. But the cushion geometry distributes that thickness differently than a round case would, and the integrated lugs mean the mass sits close to the wrist. The partially-covered pump-style pushers are a vintage-correct detail that prevents accidental activation mid-dive without adding bulk to the case flanks.
The flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating is another historically faithful choice — it references the original 1968 T.Graph, which used a flat acrylic. The crystal keeps internal reflections minimal while maintaining the flat-faced aesthetic that makes Doxa's dive watches visually distinct from the domed or box-sapphire approach used by many competitors.

The Dial: Fully Luminous — and Meant to Be Seen in the Dark
The fully luminous white dial follows a classic bi-compax layout, combining high contrast with excellent legibility. It displays the hours and minutes alongside a running seconds subdial at 9 o'clock and a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock. The central chronograph seconds hand completes the display, while the absence of a date preserves the dial's symmetry and keeps distractions to a minimum.
The "fully luminous" description is literal, not marketing copy. Every element of the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White's dial that reads as white under normal light — the chapter ring, the hour marker surrounds, the sub-dial rings, the numerals — is actually blue-emission Super-LumiNova BGW9. Under daylight, the watch reads as a bright white dial with navy blue accents. In darkness, it becomes an entirely different object: When the dial is illuminated, the royal blue detailing becomes silhouetted against the luminescent background for strong legibility. The blue lacquered hands and markers, which glow blue-white rather than the bright neon-blue of the BGW9 backing, create dark silhouettes against the lumed field — exactly the high-contrast visual experience a diver needs at depth.
As with every SUB, readability is paramount. The oversized minute hand, bold hour hand, and arrow-tipped central chronograph seconds hand are all blue lacquered and instantly distinguishable thanks to their different shapes and proportions.

The Night Test: A Signature Feature of the Great White
The Great White dial has to be seen in the dark to really be appreciated. All of the white on the dial and hands is blue-emission Super-LumiNova, creating a brilliant neon glow in low light.
This is not a feature you can fully appreciate from product photographs taken in daylight. The Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition's lume performance is arguably its defining characteristic — the one thing that most clearly separates it from a conventional white-dialled chronograph. WatchTime photographed the watch in darkness, and the result is exactly what the Great White series promises: the entire dial face becomes a glowing surface, with the navy hands and markers reading as dark shapes against a luminescent background. It is a legibility system specifically built for the conditions where a dive chronograph needs to work.

The Bezel: Doxa's Patented Dual-Scale System
Surrounding the dial is one of Doxa's defining features: the unidirectional rotating bezel with its deeply serrated edge for secure operation, even while wearing diving gloves. Unlike a conventional timing bezel, it incorporates Doxa's patented dual-scale system, combining a standard elapsed-time scale with the brand's signature no-decompression scale based on U.S. Navy dive tables. This allows divers to monitor both dive duration and maximum no-stop dive times directly from the bezel without additional calculations.
The no-decompression scale is the reason Doxa was the preferred choice of professional diving instructors and technical divers throughout the 1970s — and it remains a genuine functional differentiator. Most dive watches force the wearer to either memorize no-stop limits or carry separate dive tables. Doxa's bezel builds the U.S. Navy limits directly into the scale. On the Great White edition, the engraved scales are filled with navy-blue lacquer, matching the dial accents throughout.
The Movement: Sellita SW510 Elaboré
At the heart of the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition is the Sellita SW510 Elaboré — a high-quality Swiss-made automatic chronograph movement derived from the ETA 7753 architecture. It beats at 28,800 vph (4Hz), delivers a 50-hour power reserve, and drives the bi-compax display with running seconds at 9 o'clock and the 30-minute counter at 3. The movement is a true no-date variant — not a date-equipped base with the date window covered or blanked. Notably, it is a true no-date variation, so there is no "phantom date" to worry about.
The Sellita SW510 Elaboré designation indicates the movement has received additional adjustments and finishing above the standard SW510 production spec — including regulation to tighter tolerances. For a watch at this price and dive-tool positioning, it is the right choice: reliable, proven, and repairable by any qualified watchmaker worldwide.
The Caseback: A Swimming Shark
Where earlier editions etched the Farallon Islands into the caseback, this one wears a swimming great white. Every previous Topper Great White caseback depicted the islands themselves — the geological environment shared by the sharks and the divers who study them. The SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition shifts that to the predator directly: a full swimming shark engraved on the solid screwed caseback, flanked by the edition numbering. It is the most literal interpretation of the series name yet, and a detail that collectors of the previous editions will immediately notice as a departure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How much does the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition cost?
$4,690, available exclusively through Topper Jewelers.
Q2. How many Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition watches were made?
100 individually numbered pieces.
Q3. What movement does the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition use?
The Sellita SW510 Elaboré — a Swiss-made automatic chronograph beating at 28,800 vph with a 50-hour power reserve, in a true no-date configuration.
Q4. What is the difference between the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White and previous Topper editions?
The T.Graph II is the first chronograph in the Topper Great White series. Previous editions (SUB 300T, SUB 250T GMT) were time-only or time + GMT. The T.Graph II also uniquely depicts a swimming shark on the caseback rather than the Farallon Islands.
Q5. Does the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White glow in the dark?
Yes — emphatically. The entire white dial surface is Super-LumiNova BGW9, producing a brilliant blue-emission glow that makes the blue hands and markers appear as dark silhouettes. It is one of the most effective lume executions in any dive chronograph at this price.
Q6. Is the Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition still available?
It was available at launch from Topper Jewelers. Given that both previous Topper Great White editions sold out quickly, checking Topper's product page directly is recommended.
The Bottom Line
The Doxa SUB T.Graph II Great White Topper Edition earns its place at the top of the Great White series. It is the most mechanically interesting edition (a working chronograph vs. time-only or GMT), the most visually focused caseback (a shark rather than a landscape), and — at $4,690 — the most ambitious price point the series has attempted. But the formula that made the previous 200 pieces sell out instantly remains intact: fully lumed white dial, navy lacquer, no date, and a portion of proceeds to the marine sanctuary that inspired the whole project.
