The short answer

The closest alternative to the Dryden Heartlander Solar is the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch ($370) — common cross-shop and Visually similar. From the independents, the Vaer 40mm Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Field watch. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field King Day-Date ($845) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
