The short answer

The closest alternative to the CIGA Design SKELETON is the Casio GA-2100 ($110) — square case. If price is the constraint, the Casio LA670 at $40 (vs $169 for the SKELETON) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CIGA Design EASTERN JADE is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Cushion case. Stepping up, the Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto ($2,175) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
