The short answer

The closest alternative to the Helgray Hornet Bandit (Refurbished) is the Tissot PR516 ($575) — visually similar and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-650D at $120 (vs $299 for the Hornet Bandit (Refurbished)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Helgray Hornet Fighter (Refurbished) is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 1L45 with Small Second Strap) and Same family (Hornet). Stepping up, the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz ($1,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
