The short answer

The closest alternative to the Merkur MONOBLOCK TUNA is the Invicta Pro Diver 18160 — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Pro diver. From the independents, the Merkur Racing Rally Red is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Same family (Dive). Stepping up, the Junghans Aquaris Red ($3,220) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
