The short answer
The closest alternative to the Resco Custom C12: DLC Gen2 case, UDT white/red dial is the Massena LAB UNIMATIC U4S-T-SPW ($2,995) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 at $615 (vs $2,155 for the Custom C12: DLC Gen2 case, UDT white/red dial) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Resco Custom C9: DLC Gen2, Stealth UDT dial is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
