The short answer
The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks AB Clásico is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Auto ($995) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time at $475 (vs $1,500 for the AB Clásico) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the anOrdain Model 2 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Classic dress. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SLGW005 ($9,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
