DOXA identifies Iceberg as the first Dirk Pitt novel to put the orange-dial DOXA on Pitt's wrist, including a glance at the luminous orange dial during a dive. DOXA's account locates a time check in chapter ten: Pitt has been underwater for nine minutes, despite feeling that ninety have passed. The manufacturer also cites the luminous orange dial elsewhere in the novel. The elapsed-time check gives the dive watch a practical role within the adventure, beyond simply naming Pitt's preferred brand. (DOXA)

Source text: Exact wording has not yet been verified. DOXA's transcribed time check points to chapter ten, but the wording has not been checked against a readable edition of the novel; that passage and its edition locator remain needed.
