The short answer
The closest alternative to the Farr + Swit Solar Chrono Vice Edition is the Citizen Zenshin Chrono ($488) — visually similar and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE053 at $207 (vs $535 for the Solar Chrono Vice Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the BOLDR Supply Co. Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer 2026 Limited Edition Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Mecaquartz. Stepping up, the Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton Chrono 42mm Black ($10,611) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
