The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SLGC009 is the Grand Seiko SLGC001 ($14,700) — shared caliber (Grand Seiko 9SC5) and Same family (Evolution 9). If price is the constraint, the Bremont Supermarine Chrono at $6,850 (vs $16,900 for the SLGC009) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Balticus Watches Balticus StarDust Chrono Damast Valjoux 7750 Awenturyn - BLT-BALSDDCHABA is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Breitling Top Time B21 Ford Mustang ($51,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
