The short answer
The closest alternative to the Luminox MIL-SPEC 46mm is the Marathon TSAR (Tritium Search & Rescue) Diver's Quartz ($1,550) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 44mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch at $279 (vs $995 for the MIL-SPEC 46mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial EPDM Rubber Strap Series X 98B358 ($4,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
