The short answer

The closest alternative to the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-012 is the Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz ($610) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the WISE AD8 Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NE86) and Racing chrono.
