The short answer
The closest alternative to the Celeste Watch Company Octopus is the Bulova Dial Leather Strap Sutton 97L203 ($395) — quartz and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Timex Peanuts x Timex Marlin 1965 Reissue Inspired Snoopy Tennis 34mm Fabric at $219 (vs $445 for the Octopus) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Celeste Watch Company Surfer Girl is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko 6L12) and Same family (Under the Sea). Stepping up, the Junghans Meister S Quarz 35 ($1,270) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
