The short answer

The closest alternative to the Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 is the Breitling Avenger Automatic ($4,900) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 (vs $2,850 for the LEGEND DIVER 42) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Certina DS PH200M Powermatic 80 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328801 Aquatimer Automatic ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
