The short answer

The closest alternative to the AVI-8 Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition is the Tissot T-Race ($875) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Generation at $170 (vs $450 for the Flyboy Eagle Squadron Automatic Bronze 85th Limited Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lum-Tec M94 Bronze is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind Auto chrono ($2,095) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
