The short answer

The closest alternative to the Locke & King The James - Highland Green is the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm ($359) — shared caliber (Miyota 8215) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Generation at $170 (vs $442 for the The James - Highland Green) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Omnis ERA is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 8215) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date Auto ($1,125) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
