The short answer

The closest alternative to the Phoibos Wave Master is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($625) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Spinnaker Fleuss is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
