The short answer
The closest alternative to the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 42mm Chronograph (Dive Bezel) is the Orient 75th Anniversary RA-TX0210L10B ($375) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $450 for the Chrono Diver Gen 2 42mm Chronograph (Dive Bezel)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 42mm Chronograph - Steel Blue is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK63) and Same family (Chrono Diver). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Chronograph Sport 43mm Quartz Watch GL1042 ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
