The short answer

The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1952VS is the Orient Kamasu ($375) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Thorn Vintage 50-Fathoms Bronze Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0322 ($585) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
