The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko SRP779 is the Seiko Prospex Sea Save the Ocean Special Edition ($625) — shared caliber (Seiko 4R36) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient FAA02007B9 at $265 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Wreck Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver.
