The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timex Chicago Chronograph 45mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2Y28900 is the Casio EFV-650D ($120) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Casio MTP-VD01 at $55 (vs $111 for the Chicago Chronograph 45mm Leather Strap Watch - TW2Y28900) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Jorg Gray Watches JG6600 is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot Chrono XL Classic ($495) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
