The short answer
The closest alternative to the Astor + Banks Sea Ranger M2 is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($1,100) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $1,149 for the Sea Ranger M2) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Spearfish 3 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (La Joux-Perret G100) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Yema Skin Diver CMM.20 ($2,372) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
