The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Marine Star Men's Black IP Chronograph Watch is the Tissot Chrono XL Classic ($495) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EQS-960PB at $240 (vs $625 for the Marine Star Men's Black IP Chronograph Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Chrono Diver Series 1 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Astron ($2,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
