The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Marine Star is the Citizen Promaster Professional Diver ($431) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 44mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $299 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Nite Watches Alpha is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical.
