The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Star Elegant Classic is the Orient Bambino Version 2 Small Seconds ($310) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz at $265 (vs $500 for the Elegant Classic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sternglas Naos Automatik is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGH263 ($6,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
