The short answer

The closest alternative to the Henry Archer Akva is the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($2,800) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $4,299 for the Akva) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9039) and Skin-diver style.
