The short answer
The closest alternative to the Locke & King The James - Roasted Charcoal is the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm ($359) — shared caliber (Miyota 8215) and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $430 for the The James - Roasted Charcoal) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Hamburg Automatik is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 8215) and Automatic. Stepping up, the Junghans Meister S Automatic ($2,510) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
