The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ajwain Watches Sholavaram III is the Orient Classic Semi Skeleton ($670) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Weekender New England Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $189 (vs $395 for the Sholavaram III) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the 1963 Watches Icon II - Blue is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seagull ST1901) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the LONGINES AVIGATION BIGEYE ($4,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
