The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Series 8 890 City Lights is the Citizen Promaster Fujitsubo ($1,195) — shared caliber (Miyota 9051) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient World Map (Revival) at $450 (vs $1,495 for the Series 8 890 City Lights) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver.
