The short answer

The closest alternative to the Oceanica Watch Co. Thresher is the Invicta Pro Diver 8927OB — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Conceptual SNK807K2 at $115 (vs $300 for the Thresher) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Filippo Loreti Watches Aquadiver is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Longines LEGEND DIVER ($3,850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
