The short answer

The closest alternative to the Lum-Tec Combat B72 is the Seiko Captain Willard ($1,300) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient AA02 Diver Watch at $285 (vs $595 for the Combat B72) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lum-Tec Combat B73 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Same family (Combat). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0091 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
