The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Esteem II is the Orient Bambino Open Heart ($315) — shared caliber (FT622) and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Green Daze at $95 (vs $285 for the Esteem II) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Charlie Paris Watches INITIAL - Squelette Steel (40mm automatic) is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Presage Style60's ($715) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
