The short answer

The closest alternative to the Anoma A1 Optical is the Movado Museum Classic Automatic ($1,595) — shared caliber (Sellita SW100) and Asymmetric case. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Ventura S Auto at $1,345 (vs $2,968 for the A1 Optical) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Anoma A1 Prehistoric is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW100) and Asymmetric case. Stepping up, the Trilobe Trente-Deux ($22,680) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
