The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko SARB033 is the Tissot Gentleman ($950) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Echo/Neutra Averau 39 3H is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical.
