The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SBGZ011 is the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Annuel GMT ($58,900) — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Grand Seiko SBGZ003 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario Futurist is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Villeret Carrousel Volant Une Minute ($183,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
