The closest alternative to the Rockwell Time Kraken is the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Marathon Arctic OSAR 41mm Automatic at $1,800 (vs $7,500 for the Kraken) covers most of the same brief.

Stepping up, the Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon 3DTP ($26,667) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
