The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1728 is the Swatch Sistem Lake ($230) — visually similar and Automatic. From the independents, the Geckota Sea-Hunter Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto ($975) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
