The short answer

The closest alternative to the Fears X James Porter & Son LE is the Anders & Co. Timepieces AC2 Volcán Manual Wind ($1,965) — shared caliber (ETA/Peseux 7001) and Cushion case. If price is the constraint, the Tissot PRX at $850 (vs $3,292 for the X James Porter & Son LE) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer CUSHION CASE is the standout microbrand take — cushion case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Breitling Top Time B01 Racing ($8,050) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
