The short answer

The closest alternative to the Depancel Série R01 is the Bulova Series X 98A342/98A343 ($1,025) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Recraft Series at $265 (vs $1,038 for the Série R01) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Depancel Série R is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9122) and Same family (Série). Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-X3 Blue Steel ($7,992) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
