The short answer

The closest alternative to the Stowa Flieger Classic Chrono is the Stowa Flieger 6498 — shared caliber (ETA/Unitas 6498) and Same family (Flieger). If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Lake at $230 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dekla Military Vintage 40mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ETA/Unitas 6498) and Looks nearly identical.
