The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Layered Skeleton is the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart ($1,025) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Open Heart at $315 (vs $615 for the Layered Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Rockwell Time The Imperial Watch - Men's is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto ($1,475) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
