The short answer
The closest alternative to the Certina DS Action Diver 38mm Powermatic 80 is the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub 36mm Automatic Watch GL0340 ($1,850) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Invicta Pro Diver 9010OB covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Certina DS Action Diver 38mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (POWERMATIC 80.611) and Same family (DS). Stepping up, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Date ($4,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
