The short answer

The closest alternative to the Beijing Watches Classic Series Date Window Watch 40mm is the Orient Esteem II ($285) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 (vs $499 for the Classic Series Date Window Watch 40mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Beijing Watches Classic Series 24 Hours Dial Watch 40mm is the standout microbrand take — same family (Classic) and Classic dress. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic ($5,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
