The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vaer Design Navy Solar is the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz ($675) — common cross-shop and Field watch. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Beagle Scout (Peanuts) at $105 (vs $299 for the Design Navy Solar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolbrook Outrider Professional Mecaquartz 38 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Field watch. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Quartz ($825) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
