The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos DJ Homage Sub Diver (L6046M) is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Knot Watches AT1-40SSV is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Movado Series 800 Automatic ($1,895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
