The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ember Watch Company Concept Edition 01 is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — automatic and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the NAMICA SHIRAHAMA 1 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH38) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Norqain Adventure 40mm ($4,283) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
