The short answer

The closest alternative to the Thorn 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T0001 is the Mondaine Classic, 36 mm, Stainless Steel Green Watch ($170) — classic dress and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio MQ-24 at $30 (vs $88 for the 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T0001) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Thorn 37mm VD78 Quartz Dress Watch T002 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK63) and Same family (Duty-free Zone). Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Classics Moneta Moonphase ($1,195) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
