The short answer
The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Pilomatic is the Marathon Arctic Steel Navigator ($1,000) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DK45 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.
