The short answer

The closest alternative to the CIGA Design EVEREST SUMMIT is the Hamilton Ventura XXL Skeleton Auto ($2,175) — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton at $1,100 (vs $2,699 for the EVEREST SUMMIT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CIGA Design TIME CIPHER is the standout microbrand take — skeleton_dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton Spengler Cup Limited Edition ($7,514) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
