The short answer

The closest alternative to the Dryden Chrono Diver Series 1 is the Timex Q Timex Chronograph ($259) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $349 for the Chrono Diver Series 1) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) Sea Falcon Chrono Diver Watch Elapsed-Time is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER ($2,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
