The short answer

The closest alternative to the CWC RN81 Clearance Diver Automatic Watch is the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic ($1,800) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 (vs $1,875 for the RN81 Clearance Diver Automatic Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) RN81 Diver Automatic Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Bremont S302 ($3,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
