The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Ice Diver is the Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Save the Ocean Special Edition ($1,350) — shared caliber (Seiko 6R35) and Same family (Prospex Sea). If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $900 for the Ice Diver) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Borealis Watch Co. Caloura 300m is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Sea 1970 Heritage Diver's Black Series Limited Edition ($3,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
