The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos 40mm Diver (L6045) is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Militado 38mm NH35 Automatic BB58 Retro Watch ML06 is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay 58 79030 ($4,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
