The short answer

The closest alternative to the Boldr The Boys is the Glycine Unisex Combat Sub Bronze 39mm Automatic Watch GL0517 ($1,550) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR x ArtStory is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (Limited Editions). Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($1,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
