The short answer

The closest alternative to the Kobold SMG-2 is the Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic ($5,800) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Longines HYDROCONQUEST GMT at $3,350 (vs $6,450 for the SMG-2) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aquatico Super Marine Aventurine Dial Watch is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical.
