The short answer

The closest alternative to the Sinn 156.1 is the Sinn 140 St S ($4,957) — shared caliber (Sinn SZ01) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC86/2 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Whitby Watch Co. Intrepid X is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph ($10,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
