Some similar style watches that I'd consider: - Hamilton Khaki Automatic
- Laco Aachen
- Baltic HMS002
You mentioned that you don't want to consider Seiko - they pack a pretty heavy punch in this price range, but I omitted them because of that. Worth noting: the Ratio watch that you're looking at is a Seiko movement.

Somehow, I like to direct my disposable income towards brands that most are unaware of. If it works out, fine; else, sometimes, we all come across ammo that doesn't fire. Replace with a new cartridge, in that case.
P.S. One of the Seiko-s I currently own. Brought it down on 2016 from
Creation watches.
