The short answer

The closest alternative to the Akrone C-03 Horizon Désertique 41mm is the Yema Diver ($990) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 6 at $285 (vs $583 for the C-03 Horizon Désertique 41mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Akrone C-03 Horizon Tropicale 41mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Soprod P024) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 Werk 7 ($4,510) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
