The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex 1959 Alpinist Re-creation Limited Edition is the Yema Navygraf Heritage ($990) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Timex Marlin 1965 Reissue Hand-Wound 34mm Leather Strap Watch at $259 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Lorier FALCON is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Vintage revival.
