The short answer

The closest alternative to the Squale Matic is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0087 ($1,450) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Stowa Prodiver covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Swiss Watch Company SWC MKII Diver is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition ($4,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
