The short answer
The closest alternative to the DuFrane Watches Bergstrom 42mm MkIV Manual Wind Pilot Watch is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date Auto ($1,125) — pilot and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm at $359 (vs $999 for the Bergstrom 42mm MkIV Manual Wind Pilot Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Mühle-Glashütte 29er Big SMALL SECOND is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW261-1) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328202 Pilots Watch Mark Xx ($6,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
