The short answer

The closest alternative to the Vero Watch Company 36mm Automatic LE is the Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition Auto ($1,245) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Timex Marlin Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch at $329 (vs $1,180 for the 36mm Automatic LE) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Carlingue Timepieces CARL-MIL-01 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the NOMOS Glashütte Orion neomatik champagne ($4,410) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
