The short answer
The closest alternative to the Seiko 5M43-0B30 is the Bulova Black Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Marine Star Heritage 98B451 ($995) — common cross-shop and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch at $269 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the CWC Ti300 Titanium 5 Quartz Divers Watch is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Tool diver.
