The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex SNE597 is the Seiko Prospex Sea Solar Diver's SNE589 — same family (Prospex) 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 DS2 Meridian Quartz is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver.
