The closest alternative to the Santurce El Submarino — Swiss Automatic Dive Watch is the Glycine Combat Sub Bronze ($1,650) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver.

From the independents, the Santurce Submarino Colores Edition is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver.
