The short answer
The closest alternative to the Merkur 60S Chronograph is the Timex Waterbury Heritage Chronograph 39mm ($309) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $249 for the 60S Chronograph) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Monterey Watch Co. Capo D'Acqua is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver.
