The short answer

The closest alternative to the Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 is the Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 ($2,850) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 (vs $1,995 for the TYPE 1 M1) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the MMI Watches Turret 300M - Model: TR4-OR (PITCH BLACK) (NO DATE) (OLD RADIUM) is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
