The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch is the Orient Kamasu ($375) — shared caliber (Orient F6922) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Generation at $170 (vs $375 for the Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Venezianico Nereide Tungsteno 42 - 4521501C is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Citizen Promaster Fujitsubo ($1,195) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
