The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos Skyraider 2 is the Tissot T-Complication Squelette ($2,295) — common cross-shop and skeleton_dial. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Far Cry® 6 Limited Edition at $1,195 (vs $2,399 for the Skyraider 2) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Manufaktur Waldhoff Metropolis is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Garrick S3 Deadbeat Seconds - Power Reserve ($50,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
