I tried to come up with some vintage suggestions earlier but went down a serious Seiko wormhole, sorry.
It’s a tougher brief than I initially thought, I looked at Tudor (Oyster variations), Longines, Omega, Seiko and Zenith - mainly because you can date them. The stuff from ‘79 in budget just aren’t the quality you should be buying... something might show up if you set up enough ebay/thesaleroom alerts but you’ll need to be super patient.
Plenty of superb vintage pieces sub £1k out there, especially manual dress stuff from the 60’s.
Edit: also stumbled across this 34mm Tudor Oyster Date linen dial which for £1300 is almost worth a credit card splurge. Refinished case and probable relume but man that dial and date wheel. Yeah yeah I said I hate cyclops...

Cheers for the suggestions. I've been meaning to go to Alsal for a look for a while but their opening hours don't work too well with a 9-5 job.
