The short answer
The closest alternative to the Big Idea Design Ti GMT Watch is the Bulova Oceanographer GMT ($1,350) — shared caliber (Miyota 9075) and Tool diver. 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 Balticus Watches Moonfish - Edycja 1 Warszawska Brygada Pancerna is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9075) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe ($17,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
