The short answer
The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1929 is the Orient FAA02007B9 ($265) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Zelos Horizons 43mm is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 41mm ($1,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
