The short answer

The closest alternative to the Specht & Sohne New 38MM Men's Watches Ultrathin Stainless Steel Japan VH31 Movt Wristwatch Sapphire Crystal 100M Waterproof is the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury GMT 39mm Leather Strap Watch ($339) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Fabric Strap Watch - TW4B32900 at $50 (vs $237 for the New 38MM Men's Watches Ultrathin Stainless Steel Japan VH31 Movt Wristwatch Sapphire Crystal 100M Waterproof) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BERNY BERNY-Men Quartz Titanium Field Watch-T2596MS is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VH31) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz ($675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
