The short answer

The closest alternative to the Merkur Sunset Watch is the Timex Marlin 1965 Reissue Hand-Wound 34mm Leather Strap Watch ($259) — visually similar and Manual. From the independents, the Merkur Chinese Year Watch is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Manual. Stepping up, the Orient RA-AR01 ($305) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
