The short answer

The closest alternative to the Alexander Shorokhoff Big Date Chrono is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph X Senna ($5,900) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series MOONEYES Limited Edition at $420 (vs $3,025 for the Big Date Chrono) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duckworth Prestex VALJOUX 7750 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Bremont Terra Nova 42.5 Chronograph ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
