The short answer

The closest alternative to the Quasar Starlight is the Seiko Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition ($650) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Quasar Starlight V2 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Same family (Starlight). Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
