The short answer
The closest alternative to the Fortis Flieger F-39 is the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto ($1,300) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Damasko DK32 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Astor + Banks Pilomatic is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pilot. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328202 Pilots Watch Mark Xx ($6,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
