The short answer
The closest alternative to the Bamford of London GMT Steel is the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT ($2,900) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage The Chief GMT 40mm Automatic Watch GL0303 at $600 (vs $1,651 for the GMT Steel) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Bamford of London GMT PVD is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Glycine Airman Vintage Noon Purist ($3,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
