The short answer

The closest alternative to the Aquastar Deepstar III is the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 ($2,372) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Yema Diver at $990 (vs $2,790 for the Deepstar III) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Filippo Loreti Watches Aquadiver is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Zenith Chronomaster Solo Sport No Date ($9,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
