The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER is the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER SPEEDTIMER Mechanical Chronograph Limited Edition ($3,000) — shared caliber (Seiko 8R46) and Same family (Prospex SPEEDTIMER). If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Mechanical at $995 (vs $3,000 for the Prospex SPEEDTIMER) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Beaufort Bicompax is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Breitling Classic Avi Chronograph 42 Curtiss Warhawk ($6,050) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
