The short answer

The closest alternative to the Spinnaker Challenger Automatic is the Citizen Promaster Diver Automatic ($469) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Audaz ADZ-3050 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 200 ($1,290) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
