The short answer

The closest alternative to the Blancpain Bathyscaphe is the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($25,400) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Breitling Superocean Automatic at $5,700 (vs $35,200 for the Bathyscaphe) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Atlantica Diver Automatic is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic Goat Edition Blue 44mm ($121,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
