The short answer
The closest alternative to the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz ($420) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Resin Strap Watch at $75 (vs $328 for the Empire Tachymètre Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Furlan Marri Mechaquartz is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Seiko VK64). Stepping up, the Nivada Grenchen F77 Chrono Mecaquartz ($740) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
