The short answer
The closest alternative to the Laco Atacama Quarz UTC is the Glycine Men's Airman GMT 45mm Quartz Watch GL1006 ($1,295) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass 45mm Silicone Strap Watch at $279 (vs $710 for the Atacama Quarz UTC) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Laco Atacama Quarz UTC MB is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515.24H) and Same family (Atacama Quarz). Stepping up, the Marathon TSAR (Tritium Search & Rescue) Diver's Quartz ($1,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
