The short answer

The closest alternative to the AVI-8 Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz is the Citizen Mickey Aviator ($296) — common cross-shop and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Green Daze at $95 (vs $195 for the Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — pilot and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Glycine Airpilot Dual Time ($1,695) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
