The short answer

The closest alternative to the Svalbard Flieger EJ12 is the Timex Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic 41mm HNBR Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch ($479) — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. From the independents, the Cooper Watches MWC 1940s Pattern Classic 46mm Limited Edition XL Military Pilots Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the LONGINES PILOT MAJETEK PIONEER EDITION ($5,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
