The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen NY0129-07L is the Timex Expedition Pioneer Automatic 41mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - TW2Y87400 ($459) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Vostok Amphibia 120512 at $181 (vs $505 for the NY0129-07L) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) RN81 Diver Automatic Watch is the standout microbrand take — tool diver and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date ($10,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
