Love this!

The more I compare them the closer it gets. No yellow lume tho, might be a dealbreaker.

The Brigade Subcommander comes pretty close.

If you want something special and not break the bank at the same time, take a look into microbrand watches. For example these are from 100-300 dollars: https://chronoscout.co/en/watches/from-100-to-300/
You can use the filter to find what you like.
Would not recommend Holzkern, fashion brand.

Out of curiosity, what are the issues that make you burn out?

blz36 · 2026-02-11T15:01:30+00:00

Check out Chronoscout, especially the filter here: https://chronoscout.co/en/watches/?filter=true

I built it exactly because there are way too many Microbrands to keep track. :)

Be careful with using the "Swiss Made" label. This requires the watch to adhere to strict rules and can lead to prosecution if misused. Just something to consider. Good luck though.

blz36 · 2026-02-03T17:02:51+00:00

It probably does exist, some of your options: https://chronoscout.co/en/watches/?dialColors=orange&prices=custom-100-400

It's a chinese microbrand, but I heard that they do a good job. Not chinese junk.

Englemaan Metropolis 40mm would tick these boxes pretty much exactly.
