The short answer
The closest alternative to the Thorn 38mm Automatic Watch 1950s Tribute Collection T026 is the Timex Deepwater Meridian 200 38mm HNBR Rubber Strap Watch ($269) — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader Color Pop 38mm Leather Strap Watch at $81 (vs $179 for the 38mm Automatic Watch 1950s Tribute Collection T026) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown BLOXWORTH is the standout microbrand take — skin-diver style and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale Quartz ($499) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
