The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vertex M60C AquaLion DC is the Vertex M60 AquaLion ND ($3,243) — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone at $1,615 (vs $3,345 for the M60C AquaLion DC) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Formex Reef 39.5 mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
