The short answer

The closest alternative to the TAG Heuer Formula 1 is the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Date ($1,850) — same family (Formula 1) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 GMT at $575 (vs $1,950 for the Formula 1) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Elliot Brown CPU limited edition is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bremont Waterman Apex ($5,350) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
