The short answer

The closest alternative to the Magrette Dual Time 18 is the Victorinox Journey 1884 Automatic ($1,200) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Watch at $285 (vs $695 for the Dual Time 18) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Smiths CARIBBEAN 1000 PRS-55 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Longines LEGEND DIVER 42 ($2,850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
