The short answer
The closest alternative to the Kobold Professional Chronograph II is the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Mechanical Chronograph ($2,500) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC66 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Kobold Professional Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7760) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42mm ($36,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
