The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos ZX-1 Automatic Chronograph is the Glycine Combat Sub Chronograph Sport ($1,295) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot PRC 200 at $595 (vs $1,299 for the ZX-1 Automatic Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos ZX-1 Mechquartz Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Same family (ZX-1). Stepping up, the Breitling Endurance Pro ($3,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
