The short answer

The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1987S is the Invicta Pro Diver 3044 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. From the independents, the Spinnaker Piccard is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH35). Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 750T ($2,790) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
