The short answer
The closest alternative to the Aquastar Benthos Professional is the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone ($1,390) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Box Ceramic 41mm Automatic Watch at $705 (vs $1,590 for the Benthos Professional) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aquastar Benthos Heritage II is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (BENTHOS). Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($8,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
