The short answer
The closest alternative to the BEHRENS Apolar Watch is the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto ($4,725) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0529 at $1,450 (vs $3,420 for the Apolar Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BEHRENS Rotary Watch 2025 Edition is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Perpetual Calendar ($11,995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
