The short answer

The closest alternative to the D1 Milano Drop 23 mm is the Timex Cavatina Luxe 22mm Stainless Steel Watch ($269) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Silver-Tone Dial Stainless Steel Expansion Vintage Dress 43L226 at $150 (vs $395 for the Drop 23 mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dennison Mini Black Onyx In Gold is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Movado Moda ($850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
