The short answer

The closest alternative to the Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase 40 is the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow ($2,850) — shared caliber (Sellita SW220-1) and moonphase. If price is the constraint, the Orient Stretto Day & Night at $420 (vs $2,850 for the C1 Moonphase 40) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Loresum LS04 is the standout microbrand take — moonphase and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3583xx Portugieser Automatic ($7,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
