The short answer
The closest alternative to the Dekla Pilot watch 40 mm Type A is the Stowa Flieger Vintage 40 Baumuster B — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 2 Arabic Index at $295 (vs $630 for the Pilot watch 40 mm Type A) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dekla Pilot watch 40 mm Type B is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Pilot). Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-39 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
