The short answer

The closest alternative to the True North Pan Am x TNC GMT is the Timex Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic GMT ($629) — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the AETHELSOHN TERRA GOLDEN STRATA at $179 (vs $360 for the Pan Am x TNC GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Islander Calabro GMT World Time Automatic Watch with Anthracite Dial #ISL-316 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH34) and Automatic. Stepping up, the Timex Expedition Pioneer Titanium Automatic GMT 41mm Titanium Bracelet Watch ($729) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
