The short answer

The closest alternative to the Rolex Yacht-Master II is the Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Co Axial Master Chronometer Moonphase Chronograph 44 25mm ($42,400) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Rolex Yacht-Master II at $20,300 (vs $60,700 for the Yacht-Master II) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Atlantica Skeleton Automatic is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Speedmaster Chrono Chime Co Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 45mm ($627,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
