The short answer

The closest alternative to the Nivada Grenchen The Panda / Reverse Panda is the Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Vintage Valjoux ($4,900) — shared caliber (Valjoux 23) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster 38mm Automatic Chronograph at $2,085 (vs $4,900 for the The Panda / Reverse Panda) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Echo/Neutra 1956 Chrono is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Stopwatch ($10,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
