The short answer

The closest alternative to the AETHELSOHN Solaris Solar Chronograph Watch is the Citizen Promaster Diver ($338) — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader 25mm Expansion Band Watch at $83 (vs $169 for the Solaris Solar Chronograph Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ontic Utility 40 is the standout microbrand take — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
