The short answer

The closest alternative to the Meia Lua Boreal Moonrise is the Orient Bambino Version 9 ($385) — looks nearly identical and Sector dial. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $428 for the Boreal Moonrise) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Kuruvakka RAE-3 is the standout microbrand take — visually similar and Sector dial. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage 42mm Automatic Watch GL0417 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
