The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1638 is the Swatch Body Soul Leather ($200) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $123 for the PD-1638) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oblvlo VM Skeleton is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Presage Style60's ($715) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
