The short answer
The closest alternative to the Orient Bambino Version 9 is the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch ($450) — shared caliber (Orient F6B24) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Seiko SCVE007 at $162 (vs $410 for the Bambino Version 9) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Grandeur Watches Automatic Series G17117 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Perpetual Calendar ($9,995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
