The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase is the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto Chrono ($2,645) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch at $450 (vs $1,590 for the M45 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star M34 F7 Mechanical Moon Phase is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Orient F7M65) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE ($4,150) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
