The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vero Watch Company Safari Special is the Yema Diver ($990) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 RA-AC0Q05P10B at $355 (vs $850 for the Safari Special) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Bangalore Watch Company Men in Blue 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.
