The short answer
The closest alternative to the D1 Milano Thinline 28 mm is the Bulova Salmon Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Rubaiyat 96L331 ($725) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Champagne Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Classic 44M117 at $195 (vs $395 for the Thinline 28 mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the D1 Milano Move 30 mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota GL22) and Same family (Ultra Thin). Stepping up, the Omega Constellation Quartz ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
