The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1778 is the Orient Diver Watch ($285) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Delhi Watch Company DWC Havelock is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 8215) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Glycine Sea Kraken ($1,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
