The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Automatic Open Heart is the Orient Peanuts 75th Anniversary Limited Edition Open Heart ($495) — common cross-shop and Open-heart / skeleton. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Open-heart / skeleton.
