The short answer
The closest alternative to the Slow Watches Solar is the Tissot PR 100 ($350) — looks nearly identical and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Blackback Pay at $105 (vs $280 for the Solar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Filippo Loreti Watches Ocean Night Solar is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VS42) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Junghans max bill MEGA Solar ($1,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
