The short answer

The closest alternative to the Aquatico SEAFARER 38mm GMT is the Timex Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic GMT ($629) — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $499 for the SEAFARER 38mm GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn Watchdives WD16570 NH34 GMT Watch V2 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay 58 79030 ($4,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
