The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bamford of London B80 Modern Navy is the Christopher Ward The Twelve 40 (Ti) ($2,295) — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm at $359 (vs $950 for the B80 Modern Navy) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer PILOT SERIES II is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique ($19,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
