The short answer

The closest alternative to the Erebus Watches ORIGIN 40 is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Sea at $170 (vs $399 for the ORIGIN 40) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Golby Watches Aquareef 40 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Vertex M60 AquaLion D ($3,243) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
