The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ugly Watch Co RM3 is the Citizen Promaster Navihawk ($446) — racing chrono and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Kaicco at $135 (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 Bremont Supermarine Chrono ($6,850) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
