The short answer
The closest alternative to the Marathon GSAR (Government Search & Rescue) Diver's Automatic is the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Damasko DSub10 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2 Black with Date is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
