The short answer

The closest alternative to the Retter Watches 22 is the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic 39 ($798) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Selection SARV001 at $181 (vs $995 for the 22) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches SATELLITE GROUND STATION 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.
