The short answer

The closest alternative to the Core Timepieces Original Sin is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($595) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Aigi Watches BARENTS SEA AUTOMATIC round dive watch 43mm, applied markers + date + dive bezel at $180 (vs $549 for the Original Sin) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Core Timepieces The River Watch is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Marathon Jeep Rubicon TSAR ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
