The short answer

The closest alternative to the ARES 2026 WHITE DIALS is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0530 ($1,530) — pro diver and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the ZENEA ULA DIVER is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2824-2) and Pro diver.
