The short answer
The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1928S is the Orient FAA02008D9 ($265) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. From the independents, the Zelos Swordfish 40mm is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 ($1,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
