The short answer

The closest alternative to the AVI-8 Lancaster Bomber Dambuster Japan Quartz is the Citizen Mickey Aviator ($296) — common cross-shop and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader 35mm Leather Strap Watch at $75 (vs $180 for the Lancaster Bomber Dambuster Japan Quartz) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Flyboy Cadet is the standout microbrand take — pilot and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Yema Flygraf French Air & Space Force UTC Femme ($399) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
