The short answer
The closest alternative to the Helicon Professional Chronograph is the Tissot PR516 ($575) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $550 for the Professional Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1960 Racing Chronograph 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.
