The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bernhardt The Cipher Diver is the Invicta Pro Diver 5053 — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $795 for the The Cipher Diver) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ikigai Watches Maru 200m is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9039) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Movado Series 800 Automatic ($1,895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
