The short answer

The closest alternative to the Sheffield 1A 40mm Steel City is the Invicta Pro Diver 8927OB — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $82 (vs $258 for the 1A 40mm Steel City) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Monterey Watch Co. Blacktip Standard Pro Diver is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 41mm ($1,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
