The short answer

The closest alternative to the Norqain Independence 20 Limited Edition is the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0091 at $1,530 (vs $3,662 for the Independence 20 Limited Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTOMATIC is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 ($9,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
