The short answer

The closest alternative to the Hemel HD24 Automatic is the Orient Diver Watch ($285) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Islander Red October V2 Dive Watch with Radiant Blue Dial #ISL-323 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH38) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
