The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vario Eclipse Sweeping Quartz (Seiko VH31) is the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz ($420) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 3 Hand 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $102 (vs $218 for the Eclipse Sweeping Quartz (Seiko VH31)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario Eclipse Topaz Blue Sweeping Quartz Dress Watch on Harris Tweed Watch Strap is the standout microbrand take — same family (Eclipse) and Dress. Stepping up, the Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ ($499) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
