The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Chronograph SSB479 is the Tissot T-Race ($650) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $450 for the Chronograph SSB479) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dan Henry 1964 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C63 Valour ($1,105) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
