The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Contemporary Date is the Orient Bambino Version 7 (38.4mm) ($345) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Casio Edifice EFK-100D covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BERNY BERNY-Men Automatic Dress Watch-AM023M is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Tissot Ballade ($1,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
