The short answer

The closest alternative to the Eza 1972 is the Yema Superman Heritage ($1,004) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series at $350 (vs $1,411 for the 1972) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aquastar Model 60 Greenwich EDITION MKII is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Heritage 57 Highlands ($6,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
