The short answer

The closest alternative to the Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono is the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER Mechanical Datsun 240Z Limited Edition ($1,150) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFB-730D at $165 (vs $599 for the Straton Syncro MKII Mechanical Chrono) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer Universal Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Breitling Top Time Deus ($5,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
