The short answer

The closest alternative to the Victorinox Journey 1884 Automatic is the Victorinox Dive Pro Automatic ($1,500) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Watch at $285 (vs $1,200 for the Journey 1884 Automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Formex Reef 42 mm is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328801 Aquatimer Automatic ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
