The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star Contemporary Date is the Orient Bambino Version 7 (38.4mm) ($345) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $445 for the Contemporary Date) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aquastar Deepstar Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades Co Axial Master Chronometer ($7,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
