The short answer
The closest alternative to the Merkur Abalone Diver Watch is the Invicta Pro Diver 23678 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. From the independents, the Enoksen DIVE II E12 Automatic Dive Watch - 39mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (Dive). Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch Limited Edition ($1,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
