Seiko Lucent 7N01-5190 , from the 1990s, you can still find in giod conditions from japan within 150 and 250 dollars.
Charles Hubert XWA860 for around 150
Michel Herbelin Cap Camerad
It's actually a hommage mix of Cartier Santos and Patek Philippe Nautilus. For 600 Euros. In my opinion overpriced. Look for cheaper offers or used. It's available in diffetent colors and straps/beacelet.
I know it's might be not in your expected price range but I wabt mention anyway because it's a great "cheaper" alternative. The Rado True Square High Tech Plasma Ceramic. Looks like high polished steel but unscratchable and 80 hrs power reserve. Starting at 2100 Euros.

Thank you so much!!!
I asked the very same question recently. And found some good budget alternatives. https://www.watchcrunch.com/jonathanRstafford/posts/budget-alternatives-to-cartier-santos-23327
I can say that the vintage Seiko is now on my radar.
