The short answer
The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1970S is the Orient FAA02008D9 ($265) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Revelot R11 Darkside 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.
