The short answer

The closest alternative to the MAKINA MEPHISTO_I is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Lake at $230 (vs $599 for the MAKINA MEPHISTO_I) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR Supply Co. Enigmath Coconino is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co Axial Master Chronometer Small Seconds ($7,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
