The short answer

The closest alternative to the Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture is the Frederique Constant Manufacture Worldtimer ($5,395) — shared caliber (Frederique Constant FC-718) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT at $1,495 (vs $4,795 for the Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic is the standout microbrand take — gMT/traveler and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bremont Longitude Limited Edition ($18,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
