The short answer
The closest alternative to the Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter is the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph ($10,100) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Breitling Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk at $6,350 (vs $16,100 for the Zenith Pilot Big Date Flyback Porter) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Carey Dual Time is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw329602 Big Pilots Watch Perpetual Calendar Proset ($54,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
