The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-YS018 is the Orient Esteem II ($285) — common cross-shop and skeleton_dial. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1300WH at $40 (vs $190 for the PD-YS018) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CIGA Design HUNTER is the standout microbrand take — rectangular case and Skeleton dial. Stepping up, the Seiko King Seiko VANAC ($3,850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
