The short answer

The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1945S is the Invicta Pro Diver 28948 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. From the independents, the Zelos Hammerhead 1000m Diver Black with Ceramic Bezel is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport GMT Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0317 ($2,995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
