The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bernhardt The Cipher Diver is the Yema Superman Heritage ($1,004) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q Diver II LE at $395 (vs $795 for the The Cipher Diver) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Carlingue Timepieces CARL-DIV-01 / CT-001-A is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9039) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Yema Superman Dato CMM.10 ($1,777) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
