The short answer

The closest alternative to the Boldr Merlion 50th Anniversary is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Uncle Charly Leather at $200 (vs $449 for the Merlion 50th Anniversary) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr The Vogelkop is the standout microbrand take — related caliber family and Same family (Limited Editions). Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Heritage Diver's Watch ($2,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
