The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko Prospex Sea The Black Series is the Seiko Prospex Sea Save the Ocean Special Edition ($625) — shared caliber (Seiko 4R36) and Same family (Prospex Sea). If price is the constraint, the Orient Kanno at $320 (vs $765 for the Prospex Sea The Black Series) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr Odyssey Original 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.
