The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Nighthawk is the Citizen Promaster Navihawk ($446) — shared caliber (Citizen B620) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-650D at $120 (vs $431 for the Nighthawk) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 P-51 Mustang Blakeslee Meca-Quartz Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
