The short answer

The closest alternative to the Breitling Aviator Super 8 B20 Automatic 46 is the IWC Schaffhausen Iw329301 Big Pilots Watch ($9,700) — pilot and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date Auto at $1,125 (vs $5,800 for the Aviator Super 8 B20 Automatic 46) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Clowes Automatic is the standout microbrand take — pilot and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501001 Big Pilots Watch ($13,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
