The short answer
The closest alternative to the Shiro Kara Vintage (SKV) Gear 5: Sugar Apple 1.2 is the Invicta Pro Diver 23678 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Orient AA02 Diver Watch at $285 (vs $648 for the Vintage (SKV) Gear 5: Sugar Apple 1.2) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Shiro Kara Vintage (SKV) Diver is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (Vintage). Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 250T GMT ($2,790) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
