The short answer
The closest alternative to the Noctua Watch Corp. ZULU is the Timex Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic GMT ($629) — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $504 for the ZULU) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the JIANGHUN Deep Challenger GMT Diver 300 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328801 Aquatimer Automatic ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
