The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vortic Watch Company Chicago 117 is the Oris Year of the Horse Limited Edition ($8,000) — looks nearly identical and Manual. If price is the constraint, the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch at $450 (vs $4,800 for the Chicago 117) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vortic Watch Company Springfield 174 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Manual. Stepping up, the Blancpain Métiers d'Art Grande Décoration ($83,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
