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 Manufaktur Waldhoff Seawolf is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw395601 Pilots Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland ($14,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
