The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Modern Skeleton is the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton ($1,100) — common cross-shop and Open-heart / skeleton. If price is the constraint, the Casio ECB-950DB at $280 (vs $725 for the Modern Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star M34 F7 Semi Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Ventura Edge Skeleton ($1,925) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
