The short answer
The closest alternative to the Makydo 42 is the Invicta Pro Diver 5053OBXL — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Swatch The Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Summer Ed at $170 (vs $354 for the Makydo 42) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Makydo 42 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Tool diver. Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
