The short answer
The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos de Cartier Medium Model is the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue ($6,264) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton American Classic Boulton Mechanical at $1,075 (vs $8,400 for the Santos de Cartier Medium Model) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP0021 Automatic is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-X3 TOURBILLON MICRO-ROTOR ($96,120) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
