The short answer
The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex Alpinist Mechanical is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 ($1,095) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Astor + Banks Sea Ranger M2 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver.
