The short answer

The closest alternative to the OLTO-8 EXPLORE-X Skeleton Automatic Watch is the Invicta S1 Rally 49016 — tonneau / barrel case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Bulova White Dial Stainless Steel Expansion Classic 43L230 at $195 (vs $400 for the EXPLORE-X Skeleton Automatic Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the OLTO-8 EXPLORE-X is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 82S0) and Tonneau / barrel case. Stepping up, the Bulova Multiple Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Maquina 98A320 ($925) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
