Thank You for Your Support!

A sincere thank you to everyone who pre-ordered the Doxa SUB 300 Beta 'Disrupter'. Your support has helped bring this unique project to life, and we're excited to share that the prototype has officially arrived!

The latest prototype showcases DOXA's new bead-blasting process, which not only gives the watch a more subdued, mission-focused appearance but also creates a striking titanium-like finish that looks incredible in person.

Seeing the DISRUPTER move from concept to reality is an exciting milestone, and we couldn't have done it without the enthusiasm and support of this community. We look forward to sharing additional updates as production progresses.

Thank you for being part of the journey and helping make this project a success.

Stay tuned...there's more to come.

Behind every TTP, SOP, STB, and new procedure that keeps a bomb tech safer is an R&D team that made it possible.

USBTA's laboratory at Indian Head, Maryland runs thermal analysis equipment, mass spectrometry, and 3D printers to safely study and characterize explosive materials.

This is where the work happens.

Every community has a story.

The story of the EOD community is one of courage, sacrifice, innovation, and service. It is a story built by generations of men and women who answered some of the most dangerous calls in defense of others.

The Kaboom Boys Documentary is dedicated to preserving that history and honoring the pioneers whose contributions helped shape the profession and the community we know today.

As this project continues to develop, we are grateful for the support, encouragement, and enthusiasm we have received from across the EOD community and beyond.

Together, we can ensure these stories are preserved for future generations.
