The short answer
The closest alternative to the Accutron DNA is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Seaview Auto Chrono ($2,045) — looks nearly identical and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Maquina Men's Automatic Classic Watch at $750 (vs $3,850 for the DNA) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Eoniq CUSTOM Mechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Same size. Stepping up, the Oris Year of the Snake Limited Edition ($9,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
