The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ming 18.01 Abyss Concept is the Ming 18.01 6.39 Concept — same family (18.01) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef at $995 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Sea-Hunter Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2824-2) and Pro diver.
