The short answer

The closest alternative to the Nite Watches Alpha is the Movado Series 800 Chronograph ($1,495) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $82 (vs $760 for the Alpha) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown HOLTON: 101-001 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 715) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Longines HydroConquest ($1,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
