The short answer
The closest alternative to the Walter Gropius New Bauhaus - Chicago 1937 is the Movado Heritage Ondoplan ($627) — vintage revival and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader 38mm Leather Strap Watch at $77 (vs $315 for the New Bauhaus - Chicago 1937) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Walter Gropius New Bauhaus - Chicago 1937 Limited Edition is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (GL32) and Same family (Bauhaus). Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BRS steel heritage ($2,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
