The short answer

The closest alternative to the CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION is the Swatch Big Bold Irony ($205) — skeleton_dial and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Big Bold Jelly at $125 (vs $359 for the EDGE EXPLORATION) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oblvlo ZM Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — tonneau / barrel case and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto ($2,175) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
