The short answer

The closest alternative to the Borealis Watch Co. Jamanta is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($625) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem51 Hodinkee Generation at $170 (vs $415 for the Jamanta) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Great White V2 300m is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Miyota 9015). Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1968 Heritage Diver's GMT Watch Limited Edition ($1,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
