The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1780 is the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz ($420) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Fabric Slip-Thru Strap Watch - TW4B15500 at $50 (vs $123 for the PD-1780) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Anders & Co. Timepieces AC1 Chronograph Bloodstone is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot PR516 ($575) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
