The short answer

The closest alternative to the Towson Watch Co Classic #3 is the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic ($13,900) — looks nearly identical and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton American Classic Spirit of Liberty Auto at $1,195 (vs $13,000 for the Classic #3) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Towson Watch Co CLASSIC is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA/Unitas 6498) and Same family (CLASSIC).
