The short answer

The closest alternative to the Flagman Royal Check is the Glycine Men's Combat Classic Open Heart 40mm Automatic Watch ($1,995) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $650 for the Royal Check) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Horizon Watches AnoNemo is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Bremont Supernova ($8,250) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
