The short answer

The closest alternative to the DIFICIANO Narwhal is the Arethusa Watch Co World Diver — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Aigi Watches BARENTS SEA AUTOMATIC round dive watch 43mm, applied markers + date + dive bezel at $180 (vs $419 for the Narwhal) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the DIFICIANO Marlin is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($1,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
