The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos Swordfish 40mm is the Invicta Pro Diver 8929OB — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Orient FNR1Q002W0 at $165 (vs $349 for the Swordfish 40mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Swordfish 40mm Ti is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (Swordfish). Stepping up, the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 ($1,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
