Are there any watches like this, in relitive style, without the giant price tag?

You can get a replica of that watch online. Dont know the exact price, but prob around $200.00 or so.

Picked up a few watches lately...this one just came in today:

My first automatic and my first Seiko. Considering it's meant to be a part of Seiko's budget lineup, the build quality is excellent and sizing the bracelet was an absolute breeze. Love the polished black finish which seems so hard to find on watches out there, it goes well with dark or light dress attire.

My second one I'm not too impressed with, although it looks nice:

Complete titanium case and bracelet, this watch is really lightweight. It's Skagen's only automatic watch and uses a Miyota movement which is incredibly smooth and quieter than the movement used in the Seiko above. What bugs me about the watch though is in trying to size the bracelet...tried to do it myself and never did succeed. Heh, I wouldn't mind letting this watch go in fact if anybody's interested in it.

And this is my current daily work watch:

What is the weight of the ti T-touch? Have you measured the head without the band?

I'm a lady, but I happen to enjoy my watch as well! However, I've been known to stop wearing watches altogether when the batteries die because I'm lazy as hell at replacing them. Therefore, I opted for an Eco-Drive which I love! It's a simple style, but it goes with everything I wear, so it suits me quite well.

Very nice indeed of your granddad. And a very nice watch too, probably valuable in its own right to the right collector to fill out the historical hole in his collection. It is a predecessor of the Citizen watches in the Navihawk series which includes the original Blue Angels. The movement is probably either the C300 as in the ProMaster Navihawk or some predecessor of it. The Navihawk series has now been replaced by the Skyhawk series, which has a different Eco-Drive movement and not quite all the functions of the C300 types.

Here is a photo and a partial description the Navihawk, of which I have owned a number (we have three at present), and of the Citizen C300 movement in general:
