The short answer

The closest alternative to the DIYWATCH Club 38.5mm Mosel (2025) - Skeleton Crystal Dial Dress Watch is the Bulova Black Skeleton Dial Black IP Bracelet Automatic 98A147 ($499) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the DIYWATCH Club 38.5mm Mosel Open Heart Vintage Dress Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 82S0) and Same family (DIY). Stepping up, the Hanhart 415 ES Reverse Panda, 39 mm ($4,145) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
