The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Avant-garde is the Movado Alta SE ($3,495) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Bulova Maquina Men's Automatic Classic Watch at $750 (vs $1,765 for the Avant-garde) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Kobold Pandemonium is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow ($6,275) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
