The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch MoonSwatch Mission on Earth (Lava) is the Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Earthphase ($340) — same family (MoonSwatch) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $285 for the MoonSwatch Mission on Earth (Lava)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order PILOT CRONOGRAFO is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Breitling Endurance Pro ($3,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
