The short answer

The closest alternative to the Big Idea Design Ti GMT Watch is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $975 for the Ti GMT Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches AT1-40SSV is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 ($2,372) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
