The short answer

The closest alternative to the Squale Master is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0295 ($1,530) — 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 $2,785 for the Master) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Squale Master x Palombari Comsubin is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Master).
