The short answer

The closest alternative to the Edox Hydro-Sub Chronometer Label Noir Edition is the Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax ($4,180) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC70/2 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Edox Hydro-Sub Date Automatic Chronometer is the standout microbrand take — same family (Hydro-Sub) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Fortis Stratoliner S-41 ($5,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
