The short answer

The closest alternative to the Thorn Watchdives WD6542 38mm GMT Men Watch is the Orient SK Diver Retro (Revival) ($325) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the IXDAO 6542 Vintage 38MM NH34 GMT 904L Automatic Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto ($975) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
