The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cincinnati Watch Company Rico the Porcupine is the Yema Superman Worldtime GMT ($1,549) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale GMT Paris at $944 (vs $1,895 for the Rico the Porcupine) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Silver Beauty - Year of the Horse is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW210-1) and Vintage revival.
