The short answer

The closest alternative to the Zelos ZX-8 Automatic Chronograph is the Glycine Men's Airpilot GMT 44mm Quartz Watch GL0434 ($1,495) — common cross-shop and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Tissot T-Touch Expert Titanium covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos ZX-4 Automatic Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Breitling Aerospace Evo ($6,228) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
