The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Classic Roman is the Tissot Classic Dream ($350) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 3 Hand 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $102 (vs $205 for the Classic Roman) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BUREI Nordic Minimalist Calendar Quartz is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Carson Premium ($450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
