The short answer
The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition is the Seiko Prospex Sea ($1,500) — shared caliber (Seiko 6R35) and Same family (Prospex Sea). If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea Save the Ocean Special Edition at $550 (vs $1,200 for the Prospex Sea PADI Special Edition) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Hammerhead V3 300m Titanium is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Rolex Deepsea ($15,550) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
