The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Semi Skeleton is the Bulova Black Dial Leather Bracelet Surveyor 96A310 ($925) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 (vs $465 for the Semi Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star Semi Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Orient F6R42) and Same family (Semi Skeleton). Stepping up, the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart ($1,025) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
