The short answer

The closest alternative to the Laco St.Gallen is the Tissot Chrono L ($475) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Scout 43mm Leather Strap Watch at $101 (vs $410 for the St.Gallen) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airpilot 41mm Quartz Watch GL0515 ($895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
