The short answer

The closest alternative to the Limes Pharo Chronograph is the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE ($4,150) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC57 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the ChronoSwiss Lunar Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar Pink Gold ($20,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
