The short answer

The closest alternative to the ARES DIVER-1 Mission Timer Swiss Automatic is the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Kamasu at $375 (vs $2,150 for the DIVER-1 Mission Timer Swiss Automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the ARES DIVER-1 GMT Swiss Automatic is the standout microbrand take — same family (DIVER-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
