The short answer

The closest alternative to the IWC Schaffhausen Aquatimer is the Breitling Avenger Automatic ($4,900) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 at $2,850 (vs $6,700 for the Aquatimer) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox Stainless Steel ($23,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
