The short answer

The closest alternative to the Timex Waterbury Chronograph is the Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Pluto ($285) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Timex Waterbury Classic Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $119 (vs $249 for the Waterbury Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Chrono-Mecaquartz is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER ($750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
