The short answer

The closest alternative to the is the Tissot Seastar 2000 ($1,275) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Audaz ADZ-2075 at $550 (vs $1,300 for the ) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Nodus Sector Deep - DLC Destro is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Linde Werdelin Oktopus Moon 3DTP White Black Ink ($25,397) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
