The short answer

The closest alternative to the Oblvlo LMQ Skeleton is the Orient Bambino Open Heart ($315) — open-heart / skeleton and Skeleton dial. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Manawapay at $105 (vs $239 for the LMQ Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BERNY Men's Skeleton Mechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Norqain Independence Skeleton Simon Moser Special Edition ($4,990) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
