Best Watch Winder for Doxa | Tempus
Founded in 1889 in Le Locle by Georges Ducommun, Doxa is a true dive-watch pioneer. The SUB 300T, launched in 1967 with its unmistakable orange Professional dial, became the definitive tool diver — trusted by professional divers and famously worn by Jacques Cousteau. Few brands carry a more authentic underwater heritage.
Modern SUB references — the SUB 300T Professional and SUB 600T — are automatic divers that keep their best time when they keep moving. A watch winder set to the right TPD keeps your Doxa wound and ready, with the date always correct.
Doxa TPD Requirements
Both Doxa models in our database want 725 TPD bidirectional: the SUB 300T Professional and the SUB 600T. One setting covers the current dive range, so a winder is quick to set up.
| Model | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|
| Doxa SUB 300T Professional | 725 TPD, bidirectional |
| Doxa SUB 600T | 725 TPD, bidirectional |

What to Look for in a Winder for Doxa
725 TPD bidirectional is the whole requirement — programmable TPD and a bidirectional mode are the essentials. Dive watches have chunky cases and often rubber straps, so look for sturdy holders with a secure grip.
Whisper-quiet motors, three winding directions and a 3-year warranty come standard on Tempus winders — choose on capacity.
Three Tempus Winders for Doxa Owners
- Tempus 2 Touch Screen (£371) — keep the diver and your daily wear both wound.
- Tempus 4 Touch Screen (£596) — room for the collection to grow.
- Tempus Single Remote Control (£296) — a discreet keeper for one SUB.
Why Doxa Owners Bother With a Winder
A dive watch is a tool you reach for on impulse — holidays, weekends, open-water plans. It only works if it is running and the date is right. A winder means your SUB is always ready to dive.
Single vs Multi-Watch for Doxa
One SUB worn daily? A single winder keeps your second watch ready. Divers often collect multiple SUB variants — different dial colours, the 600T alongside the 300T — and a 4-watch unit keeps the whole stable at 725 TPD bidirectional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Doxa watches need a watch winder?
No automatic needs one, but a SUB left off the wrist runs down in a couple of days. A winder keeps it running so it is always dive-ready.
What TPD do Doxa watches use?
Both the SUB 300T Professional and the SUB 600T use 725 TPD bidirectional.
What happens if the TPD setting is wrong?
Nothing dramatic. Modern automatics have a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding, so an incorrect setting cannot damage the movement — the watch simply may not stay fully wound.
What warranty do Tempus winders carry?
Every Tempus watch winder includes a 3-year warranty. Tempus can also repair any Tempus-brand winder even after the warranty period has ended.
For model-specific settings, see our TPD settings guide.
What TPD setting does a Doxa SUB 300T need?
The Doxa SUB 300T Professional needs 725 TPD bi-directional. Set your Tempus winder to 725 TPD in bi-directional mode and it stays perfectly wound.
Does the Doxa SUB 600T need the same setting?
Yes — the SUB 600T also uses 725 TPD bi-directional, so both references can share one winder setting.
Can I wind a SUB 300T and a 600T together?
Yes — both use 725 TPD bi-directional, so they wind perfectly side by side on any multi-watch Tempus winder.
Will a winder damage my Doxa?
No. The movement has a slipping mainspring that prevents overwinding. Tempus winders use quiet Japanese and German motors and carry a 3-year warranty.
What's the best Tempus winder for a Doxa collection?
A single or double winder covers one or two SUBs. For a collection of dial variants, a 4-watch unit keeps them all at 725 TPD bi-directional from one footprint.
