The short answer

The closest alternative to the Squale 2002 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage 42mm Automatic Watch GL0418 ($1,530) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0323 at $585 (vs $1,965 for the 2002) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 ($5,120) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
