The short answer
The closest alternative to the Oblvlo IM Mechanical is the LONGINES TUXEDO ($3,900) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $178 for the IM Mechanical) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Limes Pharo Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR 126 AÉRONAVALE ($4,309) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
