The short answer
The closest alternative to the U-Boat CHIMERA 46MM SS is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind Auto chrono ($2,095) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind Day Date Auto at $1,375 (vs $4,550 for the CHIMERA 46MM SS) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the U-Boat CHIMERA DAMASCO BRONZE is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA 2824-2) and Same family (CHIMERA). Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw395601 Pilots Watch Timezoner Top Gun Woodland ($14,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
