The short answer
The closest alternative to the Swatch One California is the Swatch The Goat S Keeper ($95) — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio A171 at $46 (vs $115 for the One California) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Nuncier Origen Carbon Kaaba 40.5mm is the standout microbrand take — art / handcrafted dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Modern 47 ($455) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
