The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex SNE597 is the Citizen Promaster Diver ($338) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Timex Deepwater Reef 200 GMT 41mm Synthetic Rubber Strap Watch at $289 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vaer DS4 Meridian Solar is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver.
