The short answer

The closest alternative to the Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Mercury is the Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon ($285) — looks nearly identical and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Casio EFV-160D at $120 (vs $285 for the MoonSwatch Mission to Mercury) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Dryden Chrono Diver Series 1 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Quartz. Stepping up, the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV Quartz ($1,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
