The short answer
The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1970C is the Orient FAA02007B9 ($265) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Zelos Hammerhead V3 300m is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the Orient Neo Classic Sports LE ($415) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
