The short answer
The closest alternative to the Yema Diver is the Glycine Combat Sub Sport ($1,850) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 at $1,550 (vs $990 for the Diver) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches ARCTIC TIDE is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Lumière ($2,570) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
