The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Waktu51 is the Swatch Am51 ($170) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. From the independents, the Akrone C-02 Nérée Atlantique is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Auto ($1,395) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
