The short answer

The closest alternative to the Pagani Design PD-1781 is the Casio EFS-S650D ($250) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $166 for the PD-1781) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Duxot Accelero Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK63) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Tissot T-Race ($650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
