The short answer

The closest alternative to the Cartier Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold is the Hublot Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm ($46,900) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph at $8,500 (vs $73,500 for the Santos de Cartier Large Model Yellow Gold) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Briston Streamliner Kennedy - Chrono - Acier - Bleu is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-X1 TOURBILLON SAPPHIRE CHRONOGRAPH ($486,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
