The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Astron is the Seiko Astron GPS Solar 2025 Limited Edition ($2,600) — same family (Astron) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Citizen ATTESA at $1,595 (vs $2,500 for the Astron) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches TSC-40TI Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter ($16,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
