Unless you've been living under a rock, you're probably aware that classic steel sports watches from top brands are highly sought-after and often unavailable for retail purchase. This leaves watch enthusiasts with limited options. However, there are alternative brands offering similar designs. These six watches fit the criteria of a great steel sports watch.
The Maurice Lacroix Aikon is a well-known watch that has been reworked to meet the standards of a steel sports watch. It features a textured bezel with unique screws and a high-quality steel bracelet. The base model runs on the ML 115 automatic movement.
The Chopard Alpine Eagle is a higher-end option with a distinct design. It incorporates screws on the bezel and features Roman numerals on the dial. This watch is powered by Chopard's 09.01-C C.O.S.C.-certified chronometer movement.
The Girard Perregaux Laureato is a classic watch with a slim profile. It is often compared to the Royal Oak and Nautilus but is considered more understated. It features an octagonal bezel and a polished center-link bracelet.
