The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1690 is the Orient Diver Watch ($285) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. From the independents, the Henry Archer Nordsø is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 250T GMT ($2,790) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
