The short answer

The closest alternative to the Orient Bambino Version 8 is the Orient Bambino Version 9 75th Anniversary ($420) — same family (Bambino) and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Casio MTP-B145D-7BV covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oblvlo AM-FG is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Auto ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
