The short answer

The closest alternative to the LIV Watches GX1-A is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Day Date Auto ($1,125) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Sport Watch at $245 (vs $850 for the GX1-A) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Roebuck Watch Company Diviso is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Fortis Novonaut N-42 ($5,230) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
