The short answer

The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Fortitude Lite is the Orient Stretto Date ($360) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Seiko DressKX at $315 (vs $650 for the Fortitude Lite) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Ocean-Scout Dive Watch is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Miyota 9039). Stepping up, the Seiko King Seiko KSK ($3,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
