The short answer
The closest alternative to the ZRC 1904 S2-Metal is the Movado Series 800 Automatic ($1,895) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0091 at $1,530 (vs $3,290 for the S2-Metal) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the ZRC 1904 S2-RUBBER – NEW is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328801 Aquatimer Automatic ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
