The short answer

The closest alternative to the Marin Instruments Standard Skin-Diver is the Yema Navygraf Heritage ($990) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Invicta Pro Diver 8927OB covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Fathers Orologio Diver Automatico Swiss Made is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Oris X RedBar Limited Edition II ($2,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
