The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-X3 Blue Steel is the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France ($8,100) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot PRX at $2,150 (vs $7,992 for the BR-X3 Blue Steel) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Depancel Série R01 is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical.
