The short answer

The closest alternative to the OLTO-8 EXPLORE-X Skeleton Automatic Watch is the Orient Modern Skeleton ($725) — open-heart / skeleton and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Checkpoint at $165 (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 Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton American Classic Chrono-Matic 50 Auto Chrono - Limited Edition ($2,775) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
