The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Series 8 880 is the Citizen Promaster Air GMT ($1,195) — shared caliber (Miyota 9054) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Presage Style60's at $650 (vs $1,695 for the Series 8 880) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Spearfish GMT is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Rolex Sky-Dweller ($17,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
