The short answer

The closest alternative to the Laco Kilimanjaro is the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto ($975) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $990 for the Kilimanjaro) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Melbourne Watch Company Sorrento is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
