The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Marine Star Men's Black IP Chronograph Watch is the Movado BOLD Verso Chronograph ($995) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $625 for the Marine Star Men's Black IP Chronograph Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown BLOXWORTH: 929-002 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Astron ($2,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
