The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ginault Expeditioner is the Movado Heritage Ondoplan ($1,047) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q Diver II LE at $395 (vs $1,325 for the Expeditioner) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Direnzo Watches DRZ 05 Solaris black no date is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Sjöö Sandström Royal Steel Worldtimer ($24,080) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
