The short answer
The closest alternative to the Minus-8 Diver 1T Solar is the Tissot Seastar 1000 GMT ($575) — tool diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $298 for the Diver 1T Solar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Minus-8 Diver 2.0 is the standout microbrand take — same family (Diver) and Tool diver. Stepping up, the Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter ($5,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
