The short answer

The closest alternative to the Certina DS Super PH500M is the Tissot Seastar 1000 ($875) — common cross-shop and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea at $625 (vs $1,107 for the DS Super PH500M) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Certina DS SUPER PH1000M is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (POWERMATIC 80.611) and Same family (DS). Stepping up, the Longines HYDROCONQUEST GMT ($3,350) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
