The short answer

The closest alternative to the Le Forban Sécurité Mer La Malouine is the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 ($1,550) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 (vs $490 for the La Malouine) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Le Forban Sécurité Mer La Brestoise is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 8215) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Date ($10,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
