The short answer
The closest alternative to the Towson Watch Co CADET is the Tissot Gentleman Gold bezel ($2,450) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports Field series at $315 (vs $2,000 for the CADET) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Beijing Watches D301 Reissue is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Breitling Top Time B01 ($23,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
