The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timex Q Timex 1978 Day/Date 37.5mm Leather Strap Watch is the Timex Q Timex Red Vega 1978 Reissue 38mm Leather Strap Watch ($219) — vintage revival and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio Enticer MTP-1302 at $67 (vs $219 for the Q Timex 1978 Day/Date 37.5mm Leather Strap Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario VERSA Reversible Dual Time is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz ($675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
