The short answer

The closest alternative to the Rockwell Time Cubs Apollo is the Casio EFR-539D ($155) — racing chrono and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-620D at $120 (vs $299 for the Cubs Apollo) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Spitfire Lock Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Breitling Endurance Pro ($3,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
