The short answer

The closest alternative to the Oceanica Watch Co. Manta Ray Diver is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — skin-diver style and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oceanica Watch Co. Searaven is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) 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.
