The short answer

The closest alternative to the Longines Spirit Flyback 42mm is the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph ($7,150) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Damasko DC66 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Memphis Belle Crono B 17 Bicompax is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Breitling Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar ($30,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
