The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch is the Orient Kamasu ($375) — shared caliber (Orient F6922) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Pathfinder is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine Bronze COSC ($1,695) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
