The short answer

The closest alternative to the Akrone C-03 GMT HUD is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient AA02 Diver Watch at $285 (vs $666 for the C-03 GMT HUD) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Akrone C-03 ALAT GMT is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9075) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0493 ($2,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
