The short answer

The closest alternative to the Objest Simple is the Tissot Tradition ($450) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 3 Hand 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $102 (vs $275 for the Simple) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Defakto Mono is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Modern 47 ($455) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
