The short answer

The closest alternative to the Helgray Bomber Quartz - Brigadier Gray (Prototype) is the Fears Brunswick 38 (Steel) ($3,122) — cushion case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio MTP-B190D-7BV at $110 (vs $249 for the Bomber Quartz - Brigadier Gray (Prototype)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Pioneer Graphite Special Edition is the standout microbrand take — cushion case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bulova White Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Super Seville 96A344 ($1,025) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
