The short answer

The closest alternative to the Second Hour The Fusion is the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm ($359) — visually similar and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 (vs $635 for the The Fusion) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Islander Second Hour Fusion Mk1 Watch with Denim Fire Dial #SEC-HOU-27 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9015) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Gentleman Gold bezel ($2,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
