The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pook Watches 1938 is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Lake at $230 (vs $499 for the 1938) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order Casanova is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($2,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
