The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Mechanical Moon Phase is the Citizen Series 8 870 ($1,595) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient 75th Anniversary Stretto at $475 (vs $1,590 for the Mechanical Moon Phase) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches ATC-40 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Norqain Adventure Sport JP 42mm Anthracite Grey ($3,471) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
