The short answer
The closest alternative to the Kobold 25th Anniversary Chronograph is the RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs ($7,950) — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Nivada Grenchen Autochron at $2,495 (vs $14,500 for the 25th Anniversary Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Olech & Wajs Watches Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — related caliber family and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Breitling Premier B19 Datora 42 140th Anniversary ($65,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
