The short answer

The closest alternative to the Aquatico 2026 Horse Year Limited Edition is the Bulova Sutton Men's Silver Black Dial Stainless Steel Watch ($750) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Selection SARV001 at $181 (vs $499 for the 2026 Horse Year Limited Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Aurora Field is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Longines LEGEND DIVER BRONZE ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
