The short answer
The closest alternative to the Helicon Master is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 RA-AC0Q05P10B at $355 (vs $747 for the Master) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Militado 38mm NH35 Automatic BB58 Retro Watch ML06 is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay 58 79030 ($4,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
