The short answer
The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Pilomatic is the Glycine Men's Airpilot 41mm Automatic Watch GL0509 ($1,550) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Field 42mm Automatic Watch GL0569 at $360 (vs $1,249 for the Pilomatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Bausele Air Force is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
