The short answer

The closest alternative to the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($515) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Citizen Promaster Diver at $338 (vs $749 for the 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special is the standout microbrand take — same family (Heritage Re-Issue) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 600T ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
