The short answer

The closest alternative to the Knot Watches ATC-40 is the Yema Flygraf Navigator ($1,199) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Tissot PR516 at $575 (vs $1,257 for the ATC-40) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches ATC-40SVJRBL_LD-16SVSV-ATC-40 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NE88) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Fortis Stratoliner S-41 ($5,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
