The short answer

The closest alternative to the Sheffield 1A 38 dive 38mm, 3-hand date (rotating dive bezel, perforated rubber strap) is the Arethusa Watch Co World Diver — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Tool diver. From the independents, the Islander Bayport Automatic Dive Watch with Blue Wave Dial #ISL-311 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay 58 ($5,350) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
