The short answer

The closest alternative to the LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK is the Bremont Terra Nova 42.5 Chronograph ($4,950) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono at $1,845 (vs $5,000 for the LONGINES SPIRIT FLYBACK) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Certina DS-1 Chrono Auto is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Blancpain Air Command ($26,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
