The short answer

The closest alternative to the Seiko 5 Sports Field series is the Seiko Presage Style60's ($650) — shared caliber (Seiko 4R34) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Swatch Sistem Sea at $170 (vs $450 for the 5 Sports Field series) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Wolbrook Skindiver WT Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Glycine Airman Vintage Noon Purist ($3,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
