The short answer

The closest alternative to the Farer Hopewell III is the Stowa Flieger Classic 40 Baumuster B — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm at $359 (vs $995 for the Hopewell III) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Direnzo Watches DRZ Type 250F is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Fears Redcliff 39.5 No-Date ($2,833) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
