The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch Petite Seconde Black is the Swatch Sistem Pilote ($285) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $250 for the Petite Seconde Black) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Beijing Watches Star Trail Time Hunter Mechanical Watch 42mm is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Orient Sports Diver ($745) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
