The short answer

The closest alternative to the Breitling Avi 1953 Edition is the Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 ($23,900) — shared caliber (Breitling B09) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Breitling Avi Ref 765 1953 Re Edition at $9,450 (vs $27,150 for the Avi 1953 Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Hemel HFC Mechanical Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Specialities Olympic 1932 Chrono Chime ($586,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
