The short answer
The closest alternative to the Bulova Gold-Tone Dial HNBR Rubber Series X² 97A195 is the Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Auto ($2,275) — common cross-shop and skeleton_dial. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Series X 98A342/98A343 at $1,025 (vs $2,995 for the Gold-Tone Dial HNBR Rubber Series X² 97A195) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CIGA Design EDGE is the standout microbrand take — rectangular case and Skeleton dial. Stepping up, the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang ($37,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
