The short answer

The closest alternative to the Benrus Watches TYPE 2 MIL SPEC is the Longines LEGEND DIVER ($3,850) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 (vs $1,795 for the TYPE 2 MIL SPEC) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Benrus Watches TYPE 1 MIL SPEC is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2892-A2) and Field watch. Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-40 ($3,520) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
