The short answer

The closest alternative to the Islander Phoibos Eagle Ray Automatic Diver is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Lake at $230 (vs $480 for the Phoibos Eagle Ray Automatic Diver) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Henry Archer Nordsø is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Series 800 Automatic ($1,895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
