The short answer
The closest alternative to the Islander Saltaire 38mm Solar Dive Watch is the Tissot Seastar 1000 GMT ($575) — tool diver and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the AETHELSOHN Solaris Solar Chronograph Watch at $169 (vs $349 for the Saltaire 38mm Solar Dive Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Islander Saltaire 38mm Solar Dive Watch with Ink Black Dial #ISL-278 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 2070) and Skin-diver style. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
