The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Corso is the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz ($265) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Greetings From Las Vegas at $95 (vs $278 for the Corso) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Berlin is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko King Seiko KSK ($3,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
