The short answer
The closest alternative to the Citizen Avion is the Tissot Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition ($550) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-650D at $120 (vs $295 for the Avion) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane McKellar Dual Time is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind GMT Chrono Quartz ($1,245) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
