The short answer

The closest alternative to the Micromilspec Hercules aviation timepiece is the Glycine Men's Airpilot 41mm Automatic Watch GL0513 ($1,550) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Pilote at $285 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR Supply Co. Expedition II Matterhorn is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Looks nearly identical.
