The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star Avant-garde Skeleton is the Bulova Black Skeleton Dial Black IP Bracelet Automatic 98A147 ($499) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Open Heart at $315 (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.
