The short answer

The closest alternative to the Thorn 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T002 is the Timex Noah x Timex Oval Moon Phase ($228) — classic dress and Tonneau / barrel case. If price is the constraint, the Casio AQ-800E-7A at $65 (vs $142 for the 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T002) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn 36mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T002 D2 is the standout microbrand take — cushion case and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Fears Brunswick 38 (Steel) ($3,122) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
