The short answer

The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Stretto Date at $360 (vs $675 for the Fortitude Pro) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Henry Archer Vesterhav is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Miyota 9015). Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades Co Axial Master Chronometer ($7,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
