The short answer
The closest alternative to the Tissot Tradition is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz ($745) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 39mm at $189 (vs $450 for the Tradition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Hamburg silber is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton American Classic Spirit of Liberty Auto ($1,195) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
