The short answer

The closest alternative to the Akrone C-03 Worldtimer is the Seiko SARX029 ($699) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $541 for the C-03 Worldtimer) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Islander Calabro GMT World Time Automatic Watch with Anthracite Dial #ISL-316 is the standout microbrand take — gMT/traveler and Automatic. Stepping up, the Bremont ALT1-WT ($5,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
