The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos ZX-2 Mechquartz Chronograph is the Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono Quartz ($1,075) — common cross-shop and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Citizen AN8190-51L at $233 (vs $549 for the ZX-2 Mechquartz Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos ZX-2 Automatic Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Same family (ZX-2). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airpilot GMT 44mm Quartz Watch GL0434 ($1,495) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
