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 Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Auto at $1,300 (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. Stepping up, the Breitling Avi Ref 765 1953 Re Edition ($9,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
