The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1696 is the Orient Kanno ($320) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Seiko King Turtle ($650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
