The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model is the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph ($8,500) — square case and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue at $6,264 (vs $14,700 for the Santos de Cartier Large Model) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Quadrata Automatic is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm ($46,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
