The short answer
The closest alternative to the AVI-8 Bell X-1 Machbuster Chronograph is the Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ ($499) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $300 for the Bell X-1 Machbuster Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Chronotimer Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Tissot T-Race MotoGP 2026 ($775) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
