The short answer
The closest alternative to the STEELDIVE SD1994 is the Seiko 5KX ($350) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. From the independents, the Islander JFK Automatic GMT Watch with Sunset Orange Dial #ISL-356 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0425 ($615) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
