The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star M45 F8 Skeleton Hand Winding is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Auto ($1,475) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton at $1,100 (vs $2,545 for the M45 F8 Skeleton Hand Winding) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star M34 F8 Skeleton Hand Winding is the standout microbrand take — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs ($7,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
