The short answer

The closest alternative to the Sternglas Selecta is the Stowa Marine Bronze Vintage 36 arabic — common cross-shop and Bauhaus minimalist. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $429 for the Selecta) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Atelier Wen Porcelain Odyssey — Hao is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical.
