The short answer

The closest alternative to the Helgray GMT (Refurbished) is the Swatch Big Bold SwatchPAY ($105) — visually similar and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $150 for the GMT (Refurbished)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Taiga GMT is the standout microbrand take — gMT/traveler and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Glycine Airman Worldtimer GMT ($1,395) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
