The short answer

The closest alternative to the Shiro Kara Stella Nova: Tanabata is the Alexander James Watches A4 Legacy Dress 37 ($250) — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Aigi Watches BARENTS SEA AUTOMATIC at $180 (vs $398 for the Stella Nova: Tanabata) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Shiro Kara RCF Tifa Blue is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the 5280 Watch Company Blanca ($5,995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
