The short answer

The closest alternative to the Forward Watch Co. Stars at Night is the Orient Bambino No Date ($295) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio MTP-M305L Moon Phase at $130 (vs $275 for the Stars at Night) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Baltic Hermétique Tourer is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9039) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Heritage 1938 ($925) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
