The short answer

The closest alternative to the RZE Urbanist is the Tissot Ballade ($400) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AQ-240 at $70 (vs $299 for the Urbanist) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolbrook Outrider Professional Mecaquartz 38 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Omega Constellation Quartz ($3,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
