The short answer
The closest alternative to the Citizen PCAT is the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T ($671) — gMT/traveler and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Leather Watch at $129 (vs $581 for the PCAT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier Matador Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Glycine Airpilot Chrono ($1,895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
