The short answer
The closest alternative to the Phoibos Argo is the Invicta Pro Diver 5053 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE007 at $162 (vs $345 for the Argo) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr Marine is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Longines HYDROCONQUEST GMT ($3,350) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
