The short answer
The closest alternative to the Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 46mm is the Marathon JDD (Jumbo Day/Date) Anthracite Diver's Automatic ($3,250) — shared caliber (Sellita SW220-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient M-Force AC0L at $605 (vs $2,500 for the OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 46mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Wreck Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC ($5,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
