The short answer

The closest alternative to the Merkur Single.hand Automatic watch is the Orient FNR1Q003W0 ($155) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. From the independents, the Milifortic Jumping Hour Vintage Automatic R077 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seagull ST19 (family)) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Orient Bambino Limited Edition ($295) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
