The short answer

The closest alternative to the Resco Custom C18: UDT Full Lume (Brushed/DLC Ti) is the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Airman Double Twelve 42mm Automatic Watch GL0062 at $590 (vs $1,955 for the Custom C18: UDT Full Lume (Brushed/DLC Ti)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Resco UDT Diver - Brushed Titanium is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
