The short answer

The closest alternative to the Hemel HFT20 is the Tissot PR516 ($575) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $450 for the HFT20) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Hull Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko VK64 (Meca-Quartz)). Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-43 Bicompax ($4,180) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
