The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Marine Star is the Citizen Weekender Sport Chronograph — common cross-shop and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AMW-706 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Bertucci A-3P Sportsman Vintage Field is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Quartz.
