The short answer

The closest alternative to the CWC G22 Automatic General Service Watch is the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical ($725) — common cross-shop and Field watch. If price is the constraint, the Orient Symphony IV Lady's at $260 (vs $499 for the G22 Automatic General Service Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — same family (G10) and Field watch. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 ($1,375) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
