The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-X1 instrument de marine is the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph ($8,500) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Grey Steel & Gold at $15,336 (vs $24,840 for the BR-X1 instrument de marine) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oceaneva Mens Tenuis Automatic Calendar Thin Watch is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Meca 10 Titanium 45mm ($52,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
