The short answer

The closest alternative to the Maen Hudson 38 MK5 is the Yema Superman Heritage ($1,004) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Watch at $285 (vs $719 for the Hudson 38 MK5) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolbrook Skindiver II Professional is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 ($1,890) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
