The short answer

The closest alternative to the AV86 1815 is the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II ($450) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $119 (vs $375 for the 1815) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1815 Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Heritage Calendoplan Chronograph ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
