The short answer

The closest alternative to the is the Tudor Pelagos LHD ($6,025) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Aigi Watches ARCTIC DIVER at $480 (vs $3,240 for the ) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Stewart Dawson Voyager S is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Tudor Pelagos Ultra ($6,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
