The short answer

The closest alternative to the Raven Custom 38mm is the Invicta Pro Diver 5053 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $450 for the Custom 38mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order 40mm Automatic is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-39 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
