The short answer

The closest alternative to the ZRC 1904 EDITION LIMITEE PHENIX is the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge at $1,640 (vs $3,890 for the EDITION LIMITEE PHENIX) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the ZRC 1904 HETERIUM -METAL is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster 300 Co Axial Master Chronometer 41mm ($8,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
