The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1821 is the Orient AA02 Diver Watch ($285) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Spinnaker Bradner Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Miyota 8215). Stepping up, the Yema Superman Dato CMM.10 ($1,777) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
