The short answer

The closest alternative to the Riley Watch Co Howard Hughes FlyRacer Chronograph is the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Racer Chronograph 98B427 ($695) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $441 for the Howard Hughes FlyRacer Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Omologato 2-Subdial Chrono is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK64) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Breitling Top Time Deus ($5,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
