The short answer

The closest alternative to the BOLDR x ArtStory is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($595) — common cross-shop and Visually similar. From the independents, the BOLDR x Nitecore is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (NH35) and Same family (Limited Editions). Stepping up, the De Rijke & Co Amazon ($4,595) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
