The short answer

The closest alternative to the Makara Watches M3-CHR Lizard is the Casio EFB-730D ($165) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1300WH at $40 (vs $100 for the M3-CHR Lizard) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1934 Telechron is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 6S21) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Glycine Airpilot Chrono ($1,895) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
