The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star M42 Diver 1964 2nd Edition F6 Date 200m Titanium is the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch Limited Edition ($1,750) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AA08 Diver Watch at $390 (vs $1,390 for the M42 Diver 1964 2nd Edition F6 Date 200m Titanium) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR Supply Co. Odyssey Aurora is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1968 Heritage Diver's Watch ($2,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
