The short answer

The closest alternative to the IXDAO 6542 Vintage 38MM NH34 GMT 904L Automatic Dive Watch is the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 ($1,550) — pro diver and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn Watchdives WD6542 38mm GMT Men Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the LONGINES SPIRIT ZULU TIME TITANIUM ($4,850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
