The short answer

The closest alternative to the Helicon Professional Chronograph is the Movado Heritage Calendoplan S Chronograph ($1,295) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Q Timex Chronograph 40mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - TW2V42600 at $259 (vs $596 for the Professional Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wayforth Voyager Ref. V1.01 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.
