The short answer

The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1982H is the Invicta Pro Diver 18160 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. From the independents, the MMI Watches DUMBO 500M DIVE WATCH DLC 316L NH35 DB8NHS is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Titanium Auto ($1,675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
