The short answer
The closest alternative to the Marathon Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic is the Marathon MSAR (Medium Search & Rescue) Diver's Automatic ($1,800) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient M-Force AC0N at $555 (vs $1,200 for the Arctic OSAR 36mm Automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aquastar Deepstar II is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-40 ($3,520) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
