The short answer

The closest alternative to the Tsovet SMT-ML53 Bluewater is the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch ($375) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient FAA02007B9 at $265 (vs $550 for the Tsovet SMT-ML53 Bluewater) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Pathfinder is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 500M ($4,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
