The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ember Watch Company Rocket is the Seiko Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Arcanaut ARC II is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Sartory Billard SB04-E ($3,609) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
