The short answer

The closest alternative to the Defakto Struktur is the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 midnight blue ($2,570) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz at $745 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Aigi Watches Polaris 40MM Grey Suede is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical.
