The short answer

The closest alternative to the DIYWATCH Club DWC Signature Master Aviator is the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto ($1,300) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Field 40mm Automatic Watch GL0584 at $380 (vs $780 for the DWC Signature Master Aviator) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Bangalore Watch Company Aviator is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
