The short answer

The closest alternative to the Tuseno Shellback is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $840 for the Shellback) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vero Watch Company Open Water 41 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
