The short answer
The closest alternative to the Laco Montreal is the Stowa Marine Classic Chrono — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic 40mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2Y29300 at $128 (vs $350 for the Montreal) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Laco Sylt is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota OS10) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Junghans max bill Chronoscope ($2,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
