The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knot Watches CAC-39 is the Swatch Body Soul Leather ($200) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Septante Blue covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches CAC-39SVSV is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH70) and skeleton_dial. Stepping up, the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton ($1,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
