The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-X1 RS 16 is the TAG Heuer Monaco Split Seconds Chronograph — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph at $8,500 (vs $23,760 for the BR-X1 RS 16) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Briston Streamliner Kennedy - Chrono is the standout microbrand take — square case and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold ($73,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
