The short answer

The closest alternative to the Yema Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/ is the Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz ($610) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Timex Peanuts x Timex 1979 Reissue at $229 (vs $499 for the Yachtingraff Seconde/Seconde/) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster 38mm Automatic Chronograph ($2,085) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
