The short answer
The closest alternative to the Seiko SQ Quartz is the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Quartz ($825) — common cross-shop and Quartz. If price is the constraint, the Timex Marlin America 250 34mm Leather Strap Watch at $169 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC Pegasus Airborne G10 Quartz Watch is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Quartz.
