The short answer
The closest alternative to the Laco ProLab is the Movado Series 800 Automatic ($1,895) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Yema Diver at $990 (vs $2,990 for the ProLab) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn 37mm SW200 Automatic Dive Watch T027 Pietersite Dial is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe ($12,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
