The short answer
The closest alternative to the Santurce El Submarino — Swiss Automatic Dive Watch is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0186 ($1,530) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Kamasu at $375 (vs $899 for the El Submarino — Swiss Automatic Dive Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Santurce Submarino Colores Edition is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Marathon Jeep Rubicon GSAR ($2,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
