The short answer

The closest alternative to the Defakto Akkord is the Glycine Men's Combat 6 Classic 43mm Automatic Watch GL0109 ($1,350) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC70 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Defakto Transit Futur Perfekt V2 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical.
