The short answer

The closest alternative to the HELM Vanuatu is the Orient RA-AC0K Diver Watch ($455) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the HELM Komodo is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko Instruments NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Combat Sub Sport ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
