The short answer

The closest alternative to the Phoibos Reef Master is the Seiko Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition ($650) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
