The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Thorn 38mm Titanium 50-Fathoms Dive Watch is the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series ($350) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Thorn 38MM 50 Fathoms Sbarakuda PT5000 Dive Watch T006 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Hangzhou PT5000) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Yema Navygraf Heritage ($990) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
