The short answer

The closest alternative to the AV86 1904 Chronograph is the Tissot T-Race ($650) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $399 for the 1904 Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geltier Legacy is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado BOLD Quest Chronograph ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
