The short answer

The closest alternative to the Laco Köln is the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Stowa Prodiver covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Marnaut Dark Surge 300 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Sinn EZM 3 S ($3,046) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
