The short answer

The closest alternative to the IXDAO 5305 Retro Professional Dive Watch is the Orient AC0Q Diver II LE ($395) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $218 for the 5305 Retro Professional Dive Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vertigo Watches Hippocampus is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
