The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star M34 F8 Date is the Bremont Altitude 39 Date ($4,250) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto at $1,275 (vs $2,625 for the M34 F8 Date) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches SATELLITE GROUND STATION is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co Axial Master Chronometer Small Seconds ($7,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
