The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swiss Watch Company Salto is the Glycine Men's Airpilot 41mm Automatic Watch GL0509 ($1,550) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Timex Pan Am x Timex Waterbury Automatic Ace 41mm at $359 (vs $775 for the Salto) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Laco Philadelphia is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2824-2) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw328801 Aquatimer Automatic ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
