The short answer

The closest alternative to the Edox Hydro-Sub Date Automatic Chronometer is the Junghans Pilot Chronoscope ($3,110) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DK46 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Edox Hydro-Sub Chronometer Label Noir Edition is the standout microbrand take — same family (Hydro-Sub) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Bremont Terra Nova 42.5 Chronograph ($4,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
