The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos PT5000 Sub Diver Watch L6005 is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — skin-diver style and Automatic. From the independents, the Thorn 40mm NH35A Diver Automatic Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Hangzhou PT5000) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Bremont S302 ($3,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
