The short answer

The closest alternative to the AVI-8 Spitfire Type 300 Automatic VE Day 80th Limited Edition is the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch ($450) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Am51 at $170 (vs $350 for the Spitfire Type 300 Automatic VE Day 80th Limited Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Praesidus Utah Beach A-11 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto ($1,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
