The short answer

The closest alternative to the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Solar I Leather Black Ndash Lilienthal Berlin North America is the Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm ($8,645) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-650D at $120 (vs $349 for the Chronograph Solar I Leather Black Ndash Lilienthal Berlin North America) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Limited Edition Solar Ii Leather Black Ndash Lilienthal Berlin North America is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VR43) and Same family (Chronograph). Stepping up, the Movado BOLD Fusion Chronograph ($950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
