The short answer
The closest alternative to the Tuseno FIRST is the Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz ($610) — shared caliber (Seiko VK64) and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Weekender New England Chronograph 40mm Leather Strap Watch at $189 (vs $449 for the FIRST) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Charlie Paris Watches GRX - Chronographe (39mm mecaquartz) is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VK64) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs ($7,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
