The short answer
The closest alternative to the Timefactors Trans-Global is the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Bison 96A333 ($750) — automatic and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $490 for the Trans-Global) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Smiths TRANS-GLOBAL is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9039) and Same family (Trans-Global). Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst Series 2 ($1,375) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
