The short answer
The closest alternative to the Knot Watches STS-32 (el31) is the Orient Stretto Date Solar ($285) — classic dress and Solar. If price is the constraint, the Casio MQ-24 at $30 (vs $222 for the STS-32 (el31)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches STS-32SV is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko (Epson) EL31) and Classic dress. Stepping up, the NOMOS Glashütte Ludwig 33 noir ($2,170) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
