The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vario 1918 Trench Brass is the Seiko Presage Style60's ($595) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. From the independents, the Vario 1945 D12 Bronze Fumé is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 82s5) and Vintage revival. Stepping up, the Tissot Heritage 1938 ($925) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
