The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knot Watches CAC-39SVSV is the Orient Peanuts 75th Anniversary Limited Edition Open Heart ($495) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches CAC-39 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH70) and skeleton_dial. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto ($1,475) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
