The short answer
The closest alternative to the Shiro Kara Stella Nova: Kuro Neko is the Orient 75th Anniversary Stretto ($475) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Selection SARV001 at $181 (vs $398 for the Stella Nova: Kuro Neko) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Shiro Kara Stella Nova: Victoria is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Longines CONQUEST HERITAGE ($3,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
