The short answer
The closest alternative to the Junghans Pilot Chronoscope Desert is the Junghans Pilot Chronoscope ($3,110) — same family (Pilot) and Pilot. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC87 black - SI Control-Spring covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Archimede Watches Pilot Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — same family (Pilot) and Pilot. Stepping up, the Breitling Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Curtiss Warhawk ($9,050) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
