The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cincinnati Watch Company Stripes is the Yema Wristmaster Slim Small Seconds CMM.29 ($2,490) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale GMT Paris at $944 (vs $1,995 for the Stripes) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Cincinnati's Favorite Hippo is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW210-1) and Same family (Watchmaker). Stepping up, the Ming 37.08 Starlight ($6,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
