The short answer

The closest alternative to the CWC Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Mechanical ($975) — common cross-shop and Tonneau / barrel case. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $499 for the Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Mellor-72 Mechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW210-1) and Tonneau / barrel case. Stepping up, the Tissot PRX Damascus Steel ($1,175) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
