The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cadola Pista Automatic is the Orient Kanno ($320) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Rugged Core Analog 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $87 (vs $189 for the Pista Automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Marus is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0381 ($2,995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
