The short answer
The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Fortitude Lite is the Yema Diver ($990) — common cross-shop and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Orient Golden Eye II at $315 (vs $650 for the Fortitude Lite) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Venezianico Nereide Aureo 39 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9039) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Longines CONQUEST ($2,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
