The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Classic Semi Skeleton is the Orient Peanuts 75th Anniversary Limited Edition Open Heart ($495) — shared caliber (Orient F6724) and Open-heart / skeleton. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 6 at $285 (vs $670 for the Classic Semi Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star Semi Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Classic Open Heart 40mm Automatic Watch GL0120 ($1,850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
