The short answer
The closest alternative to the Monterey Watch Co. Moonstream is the Timex Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm Leather Strap Watch ($319) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $279 for the Moonstream) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Revelot Mecadromo is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK63) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER SPEEDTIMER Solar Chronograph Limited Edition ($700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
