Alternatives to the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series BAMFORD Limited Edition, Seiko Boutique exclusive model

The closest alternative to the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series BAMFORD Limited Edition, Seiko Boutique exclusive model is the Seiko 5KX ($350) — same family (5 Sports SKX series) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Sea at $170 (vs $460 for the 5 Sports SKX series BAMFORD Limited Edition, Seiko Boutique exclusive model) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Borealis Watch Co. Estoril 300 GMT is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage ($1,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
