The short answer

The closest alternative to the Kuruvakka RAE-3 is the Yema Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series Limited Edition ($2,390) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Selection SARV001 at $181 (vs $399 for the RAE-3) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Meia Lua Callisto is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9122) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Bremont Vulcan ($5,150) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
