The short answer

The closest alternative to the Santurce Machete — Limited Swiss Solar Watch is the Citizen Brycen ($394) — pro diver and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $440 for the Machete — Limited Swiss Solar Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Santurce Mocho — Swiss-Spec Caribbean Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 215) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
