The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cooper Watches MWC 1970s/80s Pattern Automatic 24 Jewel Military Divers Watch with Sapphire is the Invicta Pro Diver 23678 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cooper Watches MWC 24 Jewel 1982 Pattern 300m Automatic Military Divers Watch with Sapphire (Date) is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (MWC). Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay 58 79030 ($4,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
