The short answer

The closest alternative to the Thorn 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T0001 is the Stowa Marine Classic KS 36 arabic — classic dress and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio MQ-24 at $30 (vs $88 for the 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T0001) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Militado 36mm Retro Dress Watch ML09 is the standout microbrand take — dress and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Classics Moneta Moonphase ($1,195) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
