The short answer

The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1960S is the Invicta Pro Diver 28948 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. From the independents, the Boldr Odyssey Bronze is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0389 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
