The short answer

The closest alternative to the Militado 38mm VH31 Retro Field Watch ML08 is the Timex Expedition Acadia 40mm Fabric Strap Watch ($91) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio MQ-24 at $30 (vs $89 for the 38mm VH31 Retro Field Watch ML08) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Militado VH31 38mm Sapphire Crystal Field Watch ML08 White Dial is the standout microbrand take — same family (VH31) and Field watch. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz ($675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
