The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos Hammerhead 2 1000m Steel 'Forged Carbon' NH35 is the Invicta Pro Diver 5053OBXL — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient FAA02008D9 at $265 (vs $549 for the Hammerhead 2 1000m Steel 'Forged Carbon' NH35) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Hammerhead 2 1000m NH35 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (Hammerhead). Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 ($5,120) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
