The short answer

The closest alternative to the Certina DS Action 34.5mm Powermatic 80 is the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub 36mm Automatic Watch GL0338 ($1,750) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $1,020 for the DS Action 34.5mm Powermatic 80) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Certina DS Action Diver 40.5mm Powermatic 80 is the standout microbrand take — same family (DS) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
