The short answer
The closest alternative to the AV86 1982 GMT World Traveler is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($515) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Traditional GMT 39mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - TW2Y29700 at $187 (vs $399 for the 1982 GMT World Traveler) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oceaneva GMT Deep Marine Explorer 1250M is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515.24H) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Combat Sub Sport GMT ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
