The short answer
The closest alternative to the Ruhla Space Control Solar is the Timex Marlin Quartz 34mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch ($219) — same size. If price is the constraint, the Timex Legacy 36mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $199 (vs $415 for the Space Control Solar) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Knot Watches TS2-36 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko VS42) and Solar. Stepping up, the Tudor Royal 38mm ($2,675) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
