The short answer

The closest alternative to the Nomadic Céad 126 is the Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Chronograph H ($2,495) — manual and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Tissot T-Race at $875 (vs $3,095 for the Céad 126) covers most of the same brief. Stepping up, the Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Chronograph 39 7mm ($17,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
