The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Mechanical Moon Phase is the Tissot Gentleman ($950) — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial. If price is the constraint, the Orient RA-AK03 Version 5 Classic Watch at $420 (vs $1,590 for the Mechanical Moon Phase) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Pequignet Royale GMT is the standout microbrand take — moonphase and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co Axial Master Chronometer Small Seconds ($7,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
