The short answer

The closest alternative to the Azimuth Mecha-1 Chrono Gauge is the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Titanium 42mm ($26,400) — tonneau / barrel case and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Invicta S1 Rally 49035 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Olech & Wajs Watches 8000 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Tonneau / barrel case. Stepping up, the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang ($27,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
