The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star M42 Diver 1964 1st Edition F6 Date 200m is the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($1,300) — vintage revival and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient RA-AC0K Diver Watch at $455 (vs $1,350 for the M42 Diver 1964 1st Edition F6 Date 200m) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cooper Watches MWC 24 Jewel 1982 Pattern 300m Automatic Military Divers Watch with Sapphire (Date) is the standout microbrand take — vintage revival and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation ($2,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
