The short answer

The closest alternative to the Melbourne Watch Company Melbourne Day/Date is the Glycine Men's Combat Field 40mm Automatic Watch GL0578 ($700) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Selection SARV001 at $181 (vs $738 for the Melbourne Day/Date) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Melbourne Watch Company GMT is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-40 ($3,520) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
