The short answer
The closest alternative to the Swiss Watch Company Pioneer is the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER ($750) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Ridge Chronograph 42mm Silicone Strap Watch at $145 (vs $400 for the Pioneer) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Chrono Diver Series 1 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Movado Heritage Calendoplan S Chronograph ($1,295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
