The short answer

The closest alternative to the Breitling Aviator 8 Automatic Day Date 41 is the Breitling Aviator 8 Automatic 41 ($4,750) — same family (Aviator 8) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Yema Flygraf CPA10 at $1,614 (vs $4,750 for the Aviator 8 Automatic Day Date 41) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer PILOT SERIES II is the standout microbrand take — pilot and Looks nearly identical.
