The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Thorn 34mm Vintage Mechanical Watch T005 is the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series ($350) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Thorn 34mm Vintage PT5000 Dive Watch T003 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (PT5000) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub 36mm Automatic Watch GL0338 ($1,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
