The short answer
The closest alternative to the Isotope Mercury Alchemy is the Ming 37.08 ($4,875) — visually similar and Manual. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time at $475 (vs $2,638 for the Mercury Alchemy) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Direnzo Watches DRZ 02R Blue No Date is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Sunburst dial.
