hello
Who, what and how is OX-Oceanix® ?
The OX® Company
2021
OX OCEANIX®
PROJECT BIRTH
OX® and the FROG300™ emerge from an inspiring story that didn't begin in a garage but in a beach 'chiringuito' in the wonderful Almería, Andalusia.
It was a summer sunset in 2021 when Joseph Bolart - founder of OX® - made the decision to create the 'nearly perfect' Diver's watch. OX's ambition is to carve a distinctive space in the international watchmaking arena by presenting disruptive timepieces that challenge conventional norms. For OX®, the essence of the USA isn't just a location – it embodies the very concept and ethos behind their creations.
STARTING OX-OCEANIX-FROG300 PROJECT (2021-2023)
2023
OX® FROG300
INTRODUCING FIRST
DIVER´S WATCH
Established in USA, the new watch brand OX OCEANIX® was launched globally on July 4, 2023, unveiling the first creation, the FROG300 watch. This groundbreaking and disruptive automatic diving watch, rated at WR300M/1000ft, blends traditional mechanical watchmaking with useful and innovative technology for the first time in history. It's a pioneering timepiece, setting the standard for the next generation of auxiliary equipment for Divers and land Explorers too.

2024
OX® PROUDLY DELIVERS
FIRST UNITS OF FROG300
Finally, after a tremendous production effort —since the FROG300 watch does not use a single screw from the auxiliary or watchmaking industry— and following some delays due to the complexity of the project, the first limited-production units will be delivered to their proud owners before Christmas 2024. From here, we will continue making watchmaking history with new scheduled models: increasingly complex and the result of the manufacturing expertise we have gained.

The OX® Team
Joseph Bolart
OX® Founder and Mastermind
The creator of OX® and the FROG300 is the responsible for marketing, design, engineering, and current communication.

He inherited the passion and love for watches from his grandfather Juan, at the early age of 7, and for decades, he successfully shared his extensive knowledge and experience in watchmaking, a personal passion now turned into a business adventure with the disruptive OX® Oceanix.

The OX® watches production in Shenzhen¹
Shenzhen¹
1 Let me first tell you something important, which you may not know. Proudly, the production is located in Shenzhen, a region known for hosting the best consumer to near-luxury watchmaking in the world (and we say world because many of the major European brands, including Swiss watchmaking companies, Japanese and American brands produce here partially or totally). And not only that, Shenzhen is becoming, by leaps and bounds, a futuristic city, cradle of companies such as the all-powerful technology companies Tencent (Apple supplier) or Huawei...
INSPIRED BY USA, MANUFACTURED IN SHENZHEN
OX OCEANIX® has its headquarters in the United States, and meticulously manufactures each watch with utmost dedication in Shenzhen, within a new facilities center. The OX® SZX Center manufactures the main parts like the case molds, crowns or clasp, and receives components from the best suppliers, including the premium true GMT caliber sourced by Miyota® Japan factory (Citizen® Movement Division) and personalized in-house, which then come together to create a FROG300 timepiece.
ALWAYS LIMITED PRODUCTION
The production capacity is currently adjusted by a selected technicians and watchmakers, and it will continue to be so as part of our strategy. We will never produce on a massive scale: all the OX FROG300 watches are limited in production, and then and in parallel we have the limited edition units too. They are and will always be something special, and achieving that requires a special commitment at every level. The best part of this whole story? The final sales price, a very reasonable price for the watch connoisseurs, is also an important aspect of the 99,9% perfect watch that you can enjoy...
