The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cestrian Ocean Series GMT is the Orient AA02 Diver Watch ($285) — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the JIANGHUN Deep Challenger GMT Diver 300 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Tool diver. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver's Watch ($2,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
