The short answer

The closest alternative to the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine Bronze COSC is the Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 ($1,550) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch at $375 (vs $1,695 for the C65 Aquitaine Bronze COSC) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Tesei Bronze Swiss is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date ($10,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
