The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France is the Bell & Ross BR-X3 Blue Steel ($7,992) — square case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Tissot PRX at $2,150 (vs $8,100 for the BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Traska The Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Linde Werdelin Spidospeed Titanium – 3D Movement ($26,667) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
