The short answer
The closest alternative to the Kobold Richard E. Byrd II is the Hamilton Khaki Field King Auto ($845) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds at $310 (vs $750 for the Richard E. Byrd II) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Biatec Corsair CS TAMI is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Breitling Aviator 8 Automatic Day Date 41 ($4,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
