The short answer

The closest alternative to the Farr + Swit Seaplane is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($595) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch at $375 (vs $845 for the Seaplane) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Marloe Watch Company Sceptre is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch ($1,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
