The short answer

The closest alternative to the Santurce Mocho — Swiss-Spec Caribbean Watch is the Citizen Brycen ($394) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $499 for the Mocho — Swiss-Spec Caribbean Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Santurce Machete — Limited Swiss Solar Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 215) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 600T ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
