The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vario 1918 Medic Brass is the Seiko Presage Style60's ($715) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Traditional GMT at $187 (vs $388 for the 1918 Medic Brass) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario 1918 Medic Brass is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH38) and Vintage revival. Stepping up, the Yema Superman Heritage GMT Bronze ($1,499) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
