The short answer

The closest alternative to the Aquastar Deepstar Chronograph is the Longines CONQUEST ($2,400) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Ballade at $1,100 (vs $2,790 for the Deepstar Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aquastar Deepstar II is the standout microbrand take — same family (Deepstar) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Speedmaster 38 Co Axial Chronometer Chronograph 38mm ($5,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
