The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos 2.5x Water Sub Diver Watch L6015 is the Invicta Pro Diver 8927OB — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. From the independents, the Thorn Watchdives WD007ST 39mm NTTD Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Bremont S302 ($3,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
