The short answer
The closest alternative to the Formex Reef GMT is the Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT ($2,995) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Combat Sub Sport at $1,650 (vs $2,235 for the Reef GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Circula Watches Taucheruhren von CiRCULA is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Breitling Avenger Automatic ($4,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
