The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star M45 F7 Small Second is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Auto ($995) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino No Date at $295 (vs $1,240 for the M45 F7 Small Second) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Specht & Sohne Specht & Söhne SP2649A Automatic is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega De Ville Prestige Co Axial Master Chronometer Small Seconds 41mm ($5,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
