The short answer

The closest alternative to the Von Doren GRANDMASTER MARK II, 43 mm is the Norqain Independence Skeleton Simon Moser Special Edition ($4,990) — skeleton_dial and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton at $1,100 (vs $3,500 for the GRANDMASTER MARK II, 43 mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Patrios is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Linde Werdelin Spidolite Arktis ($15,873) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
