The short answer

The closest alternative to the Core Timepieces Culture Tattoo is the Citizen FE7110 ($263) — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $150 for the Culture Tattoo) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Asterisk Watches Mars Rover is the standout microbrand take — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Citizen Eco-Drive ($338) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
