The short answer

The closest alternative to the Schwarz-Etienne ROSWELL 08 is the TAG Heuer Carrera ($15,000) — shared: Date and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT at $2,850 (vs $21,832 for the ROSWELL 08) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Schwarz-Etienne ROSWELL is the standout microbrand take — same family (ROSWELL) and Automatic. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw357701 Big Pilots Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton Xpl ($102,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
