The short answer

The closest alternative to the Fortis Vagabond V-40 is the Linde Werdelin Spidolite Silver Dial ($8,000) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto at $1,300 (vs $7,480 for the Vagabond V-40) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Eagle 2 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Linde Werdelin Spidolite Arktis ($15,873) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
