The short answer
The closest alternative to the Lum-Tec B73 is the Glycine Airman Worldtimer ($1,395) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Ronda 515). If price is the constraint, the Timex Essex Avenue 44mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - TW2Y28800 at $102 (vs $463 for the B73) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown DHU Special Edition Canford is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Glycine Airman GMT ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
