The short answer

The closest alternative to the Borealis Watch Co. Bull Shark V2 is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Symphony IV Lady's at $260 (vs $495 for the Bull Shark V2) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Baltic Aquascaphe Dual-Crown is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Miyota 9039). Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($1,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
