The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Series 8 831 is the Christopher Ward The Twelve ($1,495) — common cross-shop and Integrated bracelet sport. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $1,095 for the Series 8 831) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer INTEGRA is the standout microbrand take — integrated bracelet sport and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 250T GMT ($2,790) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
