The short answer
The closest alternative to the Ugly Watch Co RM3 is the Timex Waterbury Chronograph 41mm Leather Strap Watch ($219) — racing chrono and Same size. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $300 for the RM3) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vertigo Watches Pilot One V2 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seagull ST1901) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono ($7,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
