The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timex Waterbury Traditional GMT is the Bulova Brown Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Sport 44B136 ($325) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Casio MDV-106 Duro at $85 (vs $187 for the Waterbury Traditional GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vaer G2 Meridian GMT is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($515) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
