Mido ocean star tribute, 13.4mm. I've seen one in person and it's really nice, bracelet and clasp very very nice

We just saw these new 38mm Squales yesterday. Might fit the bill. Some had more modern dial/colour executions and some were more vintage styled.

Should be under a grand.

Another option is wolbrook / Douglas - 40mm skin diver with a choice of sapphire or boxed hesalite - the watch Neil Armstrong wore in real life apparently
Alsta also do some skin divers at 40mm I think but poss not box crystal
The squales above look nice

I have the previous model of this and it is very nice, although I paid about £600 for it in their sale.

Cheap alternative although it's 15mm so a bit of a chunk

I'm sure this has been done to death... But, what is a nice vintage inspired dive/skin diver that has a box crystal, under 40mm and under £1000?
Yema has QC issues and not sure about the value of them. Squale heritage... hmm close but... Am I missing obvious brands? Does Seiko do a box crystal diver that's not 14mm thick?
