The short answer
The closest alternative to the Tissot PR516 is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — shared caliber (Tissot Powermatic 80) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports SKX series at $350 (vs $825 for the PR516) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Borealis Watch Co. Bull Shark V2 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Marinemaster 1965 Diver’s Modern Re-interpretation ($2,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
