The short answer

The closest alternative to the Castor Watches Valparaíso is the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5269 ($40,136) — visually similar and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Omega Constellation Quartz at $6,700 (vs $54,900 for the Valparaíso) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Mad Hudson Watches CD Watch is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross WW2 MILITARY TOURBILLON ROSE GOLD ($118,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
