The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1690 is the Orient AA02 Diver Watch ($285) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. From the independents, the Zelos Swordfish 3 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 250T GMT ($2,790) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
