The short answer

The closest alternative to the DuFrane Watches Circuit Chronograph: Customer Edition w/18kt Gold is the Frederique Constant Highlife Chronograph Automatic ($3,595) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Movado Heritage Calendoplan S Chronograph at $1,295 (vs $2,999 for the Circuit Chronograph: Customer Edition w/18kt Gold) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the DuFrane Watches Circuit Chronograph: Limited Anniversary Edition is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7753) and Same family (Circuit Chronograph:). Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR V2-94 BELLYTANKER BRONZE ($6,264) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
