The short answer

The closest alternative to the Merkur Rectangle Watch is the Seiko Essentials Tank Dress (Ladies) ($315) — rectangular case and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Casio AE-1200WH at $40 (vs $152 for the Rectangle Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Kobold Cabriolet is the standout microbrand take — rectangular case and Automatic. Stepping up, the Frederique Constant Classics Carree Heart Beat Automatic ($1,695) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
