The short answer

The closest alternative to the Junghans 1972 Competition is the Breitling Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic ($5,800) — vintage revival and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Stowa Chrono ABT 24h Limited covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Crafter Blue Hyperion Ocean is the standout microbrand take — vintage revival and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronograph 44 ($7,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
