The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star Avant-garde Skeleton is the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart ($1,025) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Watch at $285 (vs $765 for the Avant-garde Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Norqain Independence Skeleton 42mm ($6,091) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
