The short answer

The closest alternative to the Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian is the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 ($1,550) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0325 at $615 (vs $1,415 for the C65 Dune Aeolian) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Squale Super-Squale is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Longines LEGEND DIVER BRONZE ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
