The short answer

The closest alternative to the Dan Henry 1939 is the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz ($420) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $290 for the 1939) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Tissot Telemeter 1938 ($2,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
