The short answer
The closest alternative to the RGM Watches 801-A "Aircraft" is the Fears Garrick (White) ($22,225) — racing chrono and Manual. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Mechanical Chrono at $2,445 (vs $13,900 for the 801-A "Aircraft") covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Manufaktur Waldhoff Ultramatic II is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Garrick S3 Timepiece ($41,212) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
