The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko SCVE053 is the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch ($375) — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Timex Diver Inspired 42mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $82 (vs $207 for the SCVE053) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Squale 1521 Classic COSC is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
