The short answer

The closest alternative to the Varius SEEK is the Christopher Ward C60 Lympstone ($1,615) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient Kamasu at $375 (vs $1,095 for the SEEK) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Marnaut Dark Surge 300 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
