The short answer
The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Chrono is the Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition ($550) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $575 for the Chrono) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown BLOXWORTH: 929-002 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER ($2,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
