The short answer

The closest alternative to the Objest simple black automatic is the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm ($359) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Pilote at $285 (vs $595 for the simple black automatic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Compass Timepieces Gratitude is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2824-2) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
