The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cooper Watches MWC Heavy Duty 300m Military Divers Watch in PVD Steel Case (Automatic) is the Timex Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic 41mm HNBR Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch ($479) — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $495 for the MWC Heavy Duty 300m Military Divers Watch in PVD Steel Case (Automatic)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cooper Watches MWC 24 Jewel 300m Water Resistant 24 Jewel Automatic Military Specification Dive is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (MWC). Stepping up, the Vertex M60C AquaLion DC ($3,345) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
