The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timex Marlin Jet Quartz Chronograph is the Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter 40mm Leather Strap Watch ($219) — same family (Marlin) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $119 (vs $279 for the Marlin Jet Quartz Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1934 Telechron is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Tissot PR516 ($575) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
