There is an alkaline replacement battery that is the same size and shape 
as the original mercury battery but I don't know that there is such a 
thing in silver oxide.  You can use ordinary silver oxide 357 cells but 
you must put a small spacer ring in the battery compartment to hold the 
cell centered.  You can probably find a washer, O-ring or short length 
of plastic pipe at the hardware store that will be suitable.

See: <http://www.buhla.de/Foto/batt-adapt-US.pdf> which is probably the 
definitive resource on replacing mercury cells.
