The short answer
The closest alternative to the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 42mm Chronograph - Steel Blue is the Longines CONQUEST ($900) — looks nearly identical and Same size. If price is the constraint, the AETHELSOHN Sunburst Shadow at $129 (vs $450 for the Chrono Diver Gen 2 42mm Chronograph - Steel Blue) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 42mm Chronograph (Dive Bezel) is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK63) and Same family (Chrono Diver). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 42mm Automatic Watch GL0535 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
