The short answer

The closest alternative to the Maughan Jones Apex is the Casio EFB-730D ($165) — racing chrono and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $141 for the Apex) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order Sporty Cronografo is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER SPEEDTIMER Solar Chronograph Limited Edition ($700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
