The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch The Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Summer Ed is the Swatch Blurang ($260) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $170 for the The Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Summer Ed) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Colomer & Sons Geometry is the standout microbrand take — visually similar and Automatic. Stepping up, the Hamilton American Classic Pan Europ Day Date Auto ($1,345) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
