The short answer

The closest alternative to the CIGA Design EVEREST SUMMIT is the Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto ($2,175) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Black Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Maquina 98A340 at $995 (vs $2,699 for the EVEREST SUMMIT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CIGA Design TIME CIPHER is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Linde Werdelin Spidolite Titanium – 3D Movement ($21,587) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
