The short answer

The closest alternative to the AV86 1844 Chronograph is the Tissot Chrono L ($475) — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-650D at $120 (vs $349 for the 1844 Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AV86 1815 Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono Quartz ($1,075) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
