The short answer

The closest alternative to the Camden Watch Company No.253 1843 Edition is the Bulova Black Dial Stainless Steel Strap Sutton 96B403 ($395) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-160D at $120 (vs $242 for the No.253 1843 Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Camden Watch Company No.253 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Japanese Quartz) and Same family (No.253). Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz ($675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
