The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1688 is the Orient AA02 Diver Watch ($285) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Fathers Orologio Diver Automatico Swiss Made is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
