The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timefactors PRS-38 is the Glycine Men's Combat Field 40mm Automatic Watch GL0577 ($675) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 2 Arabic Index at $295 (vs $597 for the PRS-38) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Smiths 'BLACK SHADOW' PRS-38 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2830) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 ($1,375) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
