The short answer

The closest alternative to the Squale 2001 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 39mm Automatic Watch GL0403 ($1,650) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Box Ceramic 41mm Automatic Watch at $705 (vs $1,840 for the 2001) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC RN81 Clearance Diver Automatic Watch is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Bremont S302 ($3,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
