The short answer
The closest alternative to the Core Timepieces Original Sin is the Bulova Red Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Marine Star 98B472 ($550) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient FAA02007B9 at $265 (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 Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 42mm Automatic Watch GL0393 ($1,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
