The short answer

The closest alternative to the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster 38mm Automatic Chronograph is the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Broad Arrow ($2,085) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ at $499 (vs $2,085 for the Chronomaster 38mm Automatic Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Norqain Adventure Chrono 41mm NHL Limited Edition ($6,204) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
