The short answer

The closest alternative to the Citizen Promaster Air A-T is the Citizen PCAT ($675) — shared caliber (E660) and Atomic / radio-controlled. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Essentials Chronograph at $265 (vs $581 for the Promaster Air A-T) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the AVI-8 Hawker Harrier is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind GMT Chrono Quartz ($1,245) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
