The short answer

The closest alternative to the Laco Neapel is the Stowa Flieger Vintage 40 Baumuster B — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $460 for the Neapel) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Laco Palermo is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 821) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Auto ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
