The short answer

The closest alternative to the Helgray Skyfighter (Refurbished) is the Timex Expedition Capstone Chronograph 41mm Silicone Strap Watch ($179) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $199 for the Skyfighter (Refurbished)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Laco Lausanne is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force ($490) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
