The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bulova CURV Men's Chronograph/Classic Watch is the Bulova Green Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet CURV 96A297 ($2,050) — shared caliber (NR20) and Same family (Curv). If price is the constraint, the Timex Chicago Chronograph 45mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2Y28900 at $111 (vs $1,050 for the CURV Men's Chronograph/Classic Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Ferro AGL 2 Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary SPEEDTIMER Limited Edition ($2,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
