The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SBGV245 is the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) — same family (Sport) and Skin-diver style. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Combat Sub at $895 (vs $3,000 for the SBGV245) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC Arctic Radar Quartz Diver Watch is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5267 ($24,632) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
