The short answer

The closest alternative to the Dryden Chrono Diver Hometown is the Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto ($285) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $349 for the Chrono Diver Hometown) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Hunter Atlas Dual Time Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph ($2,475) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
