The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series MOONEYES Limited Edition is the Seiko 5KX ($350) — shared caliber (Seiko 4R36) and Same family (5 Sports SKX series). If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Sea at $170 (vs $420 for the 5 Sports SKX series MOONEYES Limited Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Borealis Watch Co. Jamanta is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 300 ($2,890) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
