The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Grey Steel & Gold is the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph ($8,500) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot PRX at $2,150 (vs $15,336 for the BR-05 Chrono Grey Steel & Gold) 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 Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm ($46,900) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
