The short answer
The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1993 is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Conceptual SNK807K2 at $115 (vs $248 for the SD1993) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn 40.5mm Titanium Sub Diver Automatic Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Marathon OSAR-D (Original SAR with Date) Automatic 41mm ($1,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
