The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vario 1918 Trench Brass is the Seiko Presage Style60's ($595) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Orient FNR1Q003W0 at $155 (vs $388 for the 1918 Trench Brass) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 82S5) and Same family (1918). Stepping up, the Yema Superman Bronze CMM.10 ($1,699) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
