The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos Chroma 2: Cream is the Orient Bambino Version 2 ($270) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Conceptual SNK807K2 at $115 (vs $269 for the Chroma 2: Cream) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Chroma 2: Sport is the standout microbrand take — same family (Chroma) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Field 42mm Automatic Watch GL0565 ($675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
