The short answer

The closest alternative to the Fortis Vagabond V-40 is the Yema Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds CMM.29 ($2,249) — looks nearly identical and Sector dial. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Far Cry® 6 Limited Edition at $1,195 (vs $7,480 for the Vagabond V-40) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Fathers Globetrotter Black – Orologio GMT Automatico Swiss Made – Nero 40 mm is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Sector dial.
