The short answer
The closest alternative to the Depancel Série R is the Glycine Men's Combat Field 42mm Automatic Watch GL0565 ($675) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Recraft Series at $265 (vs $922 for the Série R) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Depancel Série R01 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9122) and Same family (Série). Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 DESERT TYPE ($3,672) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
