The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cronos Snowflake 36mm (L6036) is the Swatch Body Soul Leather ($200) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Black White the Swatch Art Peace Hotel at $90 (vs $225 for the Snowflake 36mm (L6036)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn Octopus 36mm Explore PT5000 Automatic Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Hangzhou PT5000) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Junghans Meister S Automatic 36 ($1,830) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
