48 watches that match on case size, movement family, and price band. Sorted by how close the match is.
The closest alternative to the Squale 2002 is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition at $625 (vs $1,965 for the 2002) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Tesei Bronze Swiss is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 ($5,120) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
Independent makers covering the same brief — usually with something the mainstream brands don't.
Established brands covering the same brief at a comparable price — same case size, similar movement family. Often the deciding click for a new buyer.
If the price is the only thing keeping you off this watch, these get you most of the way there for less.
Where the same idea goes when budget isn't the constraint — luxury upgrades and step-ups.
