The short answer
The closest alternative to the Spinnaker Challenger Automatic is the Invicta Pro Diver 29176 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Conceptual SNK807K2 at $115 (vs $289 for the Challenger Automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Audaz ADZ-2070 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0432 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
