The short answer

The closest alternative to the Marin Instruments Steel Skin-Diver P (Polar) is the Yema Superman Heritage ($1,004) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Stowa Prodiver covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Marin Instruments Standard Skin-Diver OS is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe ($12,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
