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 Men's Dress 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $90 (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 Circa Chronograph ($665) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
