The short answer

The closest alternative to the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special is the Marathon MSAR (Medium Search & Rescue) Diver's Quartz ($1,450) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Citizen Brycen at $394 (vs $1,083 for the SBS 1987 Aged Special) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch is the standout microbrand take — same family (Heritage Re-Issue) and Vintage revival. Stepping up, the Bremont S500 ($4,395) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
