The short answer
The closest alternative to the Lum-Tec RPM is the Seiko Coutura ($550) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Capstone Chronograph 41mm Silicone Strap Watch at $179 (vs $495 for the RPM) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Straton Yacht Racer Quartz is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary SPEEDTIMER Limited Edition ($2,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
