The short answer
The closest alternative to the Shiro Kara Vintage (SKV) Gear 5: Sugar Apple is the Invicta Pro Diver 8927OB — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Orient AA02 Diver Watch at $285 (vs $608 for the Vintage (SKV) Gear 5: Sugar Apple) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Shiro Kara Vintage (SKV) Diver: 369 Tokyo Mule #4 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Oris X RedBar Limited Edition II ($2,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
