The short answer

The closest alternative to the Laco Lausanne is the Junghans FORM C ($750) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Capstone Chronograph 41mm Silicone Strap Watch at $179 (vs $520 for the Lausanne) 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 Junghans Spektrum Mega Solar ($1,410) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
