The short answer

The closest alternative to the Merkur Pocket Watch 24H is the Swatch Am51 ($170) — visually similar and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Casio AW-80 at $46 (vs $129 for the Pocket Watch 24H) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Merkur Regulator Date Men Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (ST16) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman Auto ($1,395) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
