The short answer
The closest alternative to the Core Timepieces Original Sin is the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch ($375) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch The Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Summer Ed at $170 (vs $549 for the Original Sin) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the WISE AD81x Diver is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
