The short answer

The closest alternative to the Melbourne Watch Company Sorrento is the Stowa Prodiver — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5KX at $350 (vs $844 for the Sorrento) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Esoteric Watches Bathyal Sol is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
