The short answer

The closest alternative to the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 500 Date is the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle ($2,900) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Citizen Promaster Fujitsubo at $1,195 (vs $5,400 for the Aquaracer Professional 500 Date) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR Supply Co. Odyssey Aurora is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Rolex Deepsea ($15,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
