The short answer
The closest alternative to the Airain Watches Type 20 is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Mechanical Chrono ($2,445) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage Noon Purist 40mm Automatic Watch GL0477 at $770 (vs $3,650 for the Type 20) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dumoreau Monopusher Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical.
