The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Apollo Automatic 98A327 is the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton ($1,100) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports Field series at $315 (vs $750 for the Black Dial Leather Strap Apollo Automatic 98A327) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the anOrdain Model 1 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Presage Classic Series “Craftsmanship” Urushi Lacquer Dial ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
