The short answer

The closest alternative to the Svalbard Tilbake is the Timex Q Timex NASA 40mm Leather Strap Watch ($239) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $145 for the Tilbake) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolfpoint Aberdeen is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz ($745) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
