The short answer
The closest alternative to the Seiko SARX029 is the Seiko Alpinist — shared caliber (Seiko 6R15) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Orient Golden Eye II at $315 (vs $699 for the SARX029) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Geckota Classic Chronotimer is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Railmaster Co Axial Master Chronometer 40mm ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
