The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch is the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT ($1,500) — shared caliber (6R54) and Same family (Prospex Sea). If price is the constraint, the Seiko Monster at $550 (vs $1,700 for the Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr Marine is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Longines LEGEND DIVER 59 ($4,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
