The short answer

The closest alternative to the PAROS Honeycomb is the Seiko Recraft Series ($265) — cushion case and Visually similar. From the independents, the PAROS Salmon Tail is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Cushion case. Stepping up, the Bulova Series X 98A342/98A343 ($1,025) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
