The short answer

The closest alternative to the Spinnaker Croft is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — common cross-shop and Skin-diver style. From the independents, the Zelos Swordfish 3 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto ($975) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
