The short answer
The closest alternative to the Ventus Watches Northstar is the Orient Diver Design 40 ($395) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch The Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Summer Ed at $170 (vs $349 for the Northstar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Makydo Deep Black Lite 42 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
