The short answer

The closest alternative to the VPC Watch TYPE 39VM (Presale) is the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 ($2,372) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $2,768 for the TYPE 39VM (Presale)) 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 Blancpain Bathyscaphe ($12,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
