The short answer

The closest alternative to the Sunrex Beta is the Citizen Promaster Navihawk ($446) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Ridge Chronograph 42mm Silicone Strap Watch at $145 (vs $530 for the Beta) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Sunrex Anemone City is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko (Epson) VS75) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Movado Heritage Calendoplan S Chronograph ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
