The short answer
The closest alternative to the Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer is the Marathon Jeep Rubicon GSAR ($2,100) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0420 at $615 (vs $2,395 for the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer LUMEN is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (S.A.R.). Stepping up, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique ($19,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
