The short answer
The closest alternative to the Citizen The Citizen Limited Edition is the Seiko Astron ($2,500) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio LCW-M170TD at $229 (vs $2,995 for the The Citizen Limited Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Aurora Moonphase is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGA407 ($6,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
