The short answer
The closest alternative to the Bangalore Watch Company Aviator is the Stowa Flieger Verus 40 Baumuster B — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Field 40mm Automatic Watch GL0574 at $675 (vs $1,470 for the Aviator) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Whitby Watch Co. Canuck Pilot Watch - 39mm MK II is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328202 Pilots Watch Mark Xx ($6,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
