The short answer

The closest alternative to the RZE Fortitude GMT is the Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Ice Blue ($5,639) — gMT/traveler and Sector dial. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Watch at $285 (vs $719 for the Fortitude GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Flyboy Airmaster GMT Automatic is the standout microbrand take — gMT/traveler and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C65 Aquitaine GMT ($1,935) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
