The short answer

The closest alternative to the Akrone C-03 BOUM is the Hamilton Khaki Field King Auto ($845) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 (vs $499 for the C-03 BOUM) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR Supply Co. x ART STORY BY AUTISTIC THAI is the standout microbrand take — visually similar and Automatic. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto ($4,725) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
