The short answer

The closest alternative to the Halchimy Audace Blue Moon is the TAG Heuer Carrera ($3,700) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Gentleman at $950 (vs $4,392 for the Audace Blue Moon) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Halchimy Audace Black Moon is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Automatic (Swiss self-winding)) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw501705 Portugieser Automatic ($13,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
