The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knot Watches ATC-40BKBK is the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Auto Chrono ($2,645) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC96 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches ATC-40 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NE88) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw388106 Pilots Watch Chronograph 41 Top Gun Ceratanium ($13,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
