The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vario Futurist is the Tissot Heritage 1938 ($925) — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 7 (40.5mm) at $295 (vs $648 for the Futurist) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Cincinnati Watch Company Purple Grand Feu Enamel Dial is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Vintage revival. Stepping up, the Seiko King Seiko KSK ($3,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
