The short answer

The closest alternative to the Hamilton American Classic Spirit of Liberty Auto is the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles ($950) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Orient Symphony IV at $325 (vs $1,195 for the American Classic Spirit of Liberty Auto) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lilienthal Berlin Neolux Day Date Black Blue Leather Black Ndash Lilienthal Berlin North America is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic ($5,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
