The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Semi Skeleton is the Orient Bambino Open Heart ($315) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Brownee at $155 (vs $445 for the Semi Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Orient Star Semi Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (55C22) and Same family (Semi Skeleton). Stepping up, the Longines MASTER COLLECTION ($2,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
