The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knut Gadd Cult Diver is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($515) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $328 for the Cult Diver) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Longines HydroConquest PVD ($1,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
