The short answer
The closest alternative to the Bulova Classic is the Citizen BI5000-01A — common cross-shop and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Legacy Day and Date 41mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $189 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vaer C5 Recon Field Solar is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Quartz.
