The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Octopus Kraken 37mm BB54 PT5004 Automatic Men Watch OCT025 is the Invicta Pro Diver 5053 — 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 Thorn Octopus Kraken 37mm BB54 PT5004 Automatic Men Watch OCT025 is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub 36mm Automatic Watch GL0395 ($1,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
