The short answer

The closest alternative to the RGM Watches Model 500 GMT is the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0496 ($2,700) — pro diver and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Marathon Arctic Steel Navigator at $1,000 (vs $4,450 for the Model 500 GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Memphis Belle Freccione is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2893-2) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($8,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
