The short answer

The closest alternative to the IXDAO 5305 Elegant Professional Dive Watch V3-California dial is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Horizon Watches Nemo is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Yema Superman Heritage ($1,004) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
