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 Swatch Am51 at $170 (vs $388 for the 1918 Medic Brass) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Pioneer Graphite Special Edition is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko NH38). Stepping up, the YEMA x Alain Silberstein Limited Edition ($3,732) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
