The short answer

The closest alternative to the Traser P59 Essential M is the Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass 43mm Fabric Strap Watch ($339) — visually similar and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Post Solar 41mm Eco-Conscious Fabric Strap Watch at $209 (vs $470 for the P59 Essential M) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Nite Watches Alpha is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Breitling Aerospace Evo - V79363101B1S1 ($7,397) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
