The short answer

The closest alternative to the AETHELSOHN Solaris Solar Chronograph Watch is the Citizen Promaster Diver ($338) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $82 (vs $169 for the Solaris Solar Chronograph Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Swiss Watch Company SWC Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
