The short answer

The closest alternative to the Stowa Flieger Original is the Stowa Flieger Olymp Bronze — same family (Flieger) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Mondaine Wall Clock, 25 cm, at $375 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic is the standout microbrand take — pilot and Looks nearly identical.
