For under $500, I suggest looking at Islander. Lots of "bang for the buck". Quality components and they stand behind their products. (& their bracelets are far better than you'd expect on a sub $500 watch)
#baltany makes a really nice VC homage for $295. There's also a small seconds version for $169. There's also the #vostok Retro Prestige, but those are hard to find. #vario recently released a pilot watch that's also like a driver.
If you like the look, the Nodus Sector Dive is definitely worth consideration. Only white & red currently in stock. You can choose between DLC and stainless bezels. I have a Red Tide with the stainless and love it

In no specific order, Casio, Seiko and Citizen watches.
Casio Duro seems a really popular starter dive watch. ~$50

My SKX is classic, but out of production. Currently I’d suggest an Orient. Mako 3, Kamasu, etc.. my brother has a Mako and it’s very nice.
Used Tagheuer Formula 1 time only watches are pretty affordable.
The AliX Baltany VC homage historiques as mentioned by madminuteman here are great too.
The autodromo watches are pricier but great sriver watches too.

The Vostok looks amazing!
Thank you to everyone! I’m really digging the baltany and Vostok!
