The short answer

The closest alternative to the IXDAO 36.8mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch is the Mondaine Classic, 36 mm, Stainless Steel Green Watch ($170) — classic dress and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio MTP-B145D-7BV covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Militado 36mm Retro Dress Watch ML09 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VD78) and Dress. Stepping up, the Omega Constellation Quartz ($3,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
