The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Date Luxury PVD Gold 40mm is the Invicta Pro Diver 9010OB — skin-diver style and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Fabric Slip-Thru Strap Watch - TW4B15500 at $50 (vs $239 for the Date Luxury PVD Gold 40mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn Watchdives WD1680Q VH31 Sub Diver Watch V2 is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Date ($4,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
