The short answer
The closest alternative to the Laco Ocean is the Marathon JDD (Jumbo Day/Date) Anthracite Diver's Automatic ($3,250) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Invicta Pro Diver 18160 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Audaz ADZ-2045 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2824-2) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Sinn 717 ($5,389) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
