The short answer
The closest alternative to the Squale 1545 is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 ($1,095) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $930 for the 1545) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vero Watch Company Open Water 41 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Marathon GSAR (Government Search & Rescue) Diver's Automatic ($2,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
