The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Sub Diver 44mm (6009) is the Orient Neo Classic Sports LE ($415) — automatic and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $225 for the Sub Diver 44mm (6009)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Hass Automatic is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Seastar 2000 ($1,275) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
