The short answer
The closest alternative to the Makara Watches Sea Turtle is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0420 ($615) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Sea at $170 (vs $395 for the Sea Turtle) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Makara Watches Hawksbill Sea Turtle is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
