The short answer

The closest alternative to the Breitling Aviator 8 Automatic 41 is the Breitling Aviator 8 Automatic Day Date 41 ($4,750) — same family (Aviator 8) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Airpilot 41mm Automatic Watch GL0509 at $1,550 (vs $4,750 for the Aviator 8 Automatic 41) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Astor + Banks Pilomatic is the standout microbrand take — pilot and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328301 Pilots Watch Mark Xx Le Petit Prince ($22,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
