The short answer

The closest alternative to the Anders & Co. Timepieces AC1 Chronograph is the Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz ($610) — shared caliber (Seiko VK64) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Peanuts x Timex Marlin Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $279 (vs $737 for the AC1 Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Anders & Co. Timepieces AC1 Chronograph Bloodstone is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK64) and Same family (AC1 Chronograph). Stepping up, the RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs ($7,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
