The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Red Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Marine Star 98B472 is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient FAA02007B9 at $265 (vs $550 for the Red Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Marine Star 98B472) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Henry Archer Havstrøm is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Tool diver. Stepping up, the Bremont Supermarine 300M ($3,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
