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 Timex Weekender 2-piece 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $85 (vs $195 for the Dambuster Chadwick Meca-Quartz) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Hemel HFT20 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pilot. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airpilot Chrono 44mm Quartz Watch GL0440 ($1,495) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
