The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SBGM245 is the Grand Seiko SBGH281 ($6,300) — same family (Heritage) and Vintage revival. If price is the constraint, the Yema Superman Worldtime GMT at $1,549 (vs $6,100 for the SBGM245) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr Globetrotter GMT is the standout microbrand take — gMT/traveler and Looks nearly identical.
