The short answer

The closest alternative to the Maurice de Mauriac Automatic Modern PVD Pilot is the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) — pilot and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap A-15 Pilot 96A245 at $750 (vs $3,150 for the Automatic Modern PVD Pilot) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Maurice de Mauriac Automatic Modern PVD All Black is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 28.36) and Same family (Modern). Stepping up, the Breitling Navitimer Automatic ($10,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
