The short answer

The closest alternative to the Depancel Naissance is the Bulova Series X 98A342/98A343 ($1,025) — square case and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Automatic 1983 E Line Reissue 34mm at $279 (vs $695 for the Naissance) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Depancel Série R Cruiser is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the TAG Heuer Monaco ($7,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
