The short answer
The closest alternative to the Laco Kiel.2.MB Blau is the Longines HYDROCONQUEST GMT ($3,350) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Junghans 1972 Chronoscope Sports Edition 2025 at $1,050 (vs $2,890 for the Kiel.2.MB Blau) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Laco Kiel.2.MB Schwarz is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW500) and Same family (Kiel.2.MB). Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($8,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
