The short answer

The closest alternative to the CIGA Design HUNTER is the Bulova Multiple Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Maquina 98A320 ($925) — skeleton_dial and Tonneau / barrel case. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1200WH at $40 (vs $499 for the HUNTER) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duckworth Prestex Z Hunter by CIGA Design is the standout microbrand take — rectangular case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic ($10,789) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
