The short answer
The closest alternative to the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 is the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER ($750) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Reflective at $210 (vs $450 for the Chrono Diver Gen 2) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Resco Manus Chronograph - Stainless is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary SPEEDTIMER Limited Edition ($2,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
