The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ugly Watch Co Adamas Aster is the Audaz ADZ-3010 ($720) — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Aigi Watches BARENTS SEA AUTOMATIC round dive watch 43mm, applied markers + date + dive bezel at $180 (vs $1,160 for the Adamas Aster) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Quasar Starlight V2 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay 68 ($5,475) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
