The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Tsuyosa Shore is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — common cross-shop and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Orient Sport Watch at $245 (vs $495 for the Tsuyosa Shore) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vaer D5 Meridian Auto is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($2,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
