The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Star Modern Skeleton is the Tissot Gentleman Open Heart ($1,025) — open-heart / skeleton and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 8 at $295 (vs $600 for the Modern Skeleton) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Rockwell Time The Imperial Watch - Men's is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the LONGINES TUXEDO ($3,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
