The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Modern Skeleton is the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart ($1,025) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 8 at $295 (vs $600 for the Modern Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duckworth Prestex Skeleton Manual Wind is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONOGRAPH ($3,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
