The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timefactors PRS-40 is the Casio GM-5600 ($220) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio GA-2100 at $110 (vs $315 for the PRS-40) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Smiths PRS-40 CHRONOGRAPH is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK61) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France ($8,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
