The short answer
The closest alternative to the Lorier Astra is the Yema Urban Traveller ($1,090) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Timex Marlin 1965 Reissue Hand-Wound 34mm Leather Strap Watch at $259 (vs $699 for the Astra) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Ocean-Scout Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Miyota 9039). Stepping up, the Yema Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds CMM.29 ($2,249) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
