The short answer

The closest alternative to the Farer PILOT SERIES II is the Fortis Flieger F-39 ($2,530) — pilot and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm at $359 (vs $1,350 for the PILOT SERIES II) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Bamford of London x RAEBURN Snoopy B80 Limited-Edition is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Automatic. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328301 Pilots Watch Mark Xx Le Petit Prince ($22,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
