The short answer

The closest alternative to the BERNY Men's Skeleton Mechanical Watch is the Orient Esteem II ($285) — skeleton_dial and Skeleton dial. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1000W at $40 (vs $146 for the Men's Skeleton Mechanical Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BERNY Men's Skeleton Mechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 82S0) and Same family (Men's Skeleton Mechanical Watch). Stepping up, the Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Auto ($2,275) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
