The short answer

The closest alternative to the JIANGHUN War Drum GMT is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($625) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Waktu51 at $170 (vs $348 for the War Drum GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Noctua Watch Corp. ZULU is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Marathon GSAR (Government Search & Rescue) Diver's Automatic ($2,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
