The short answer

The closest alternative to the Certina DS Action Day Date Powermatic 80 is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $903 for the DS Action Day Date Powermatic 80) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order Diverissimo is the standout microbrand take — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
