I quite like the Christopher Ward Sandhurst looking at it more closely - cosc certified chronometer, field watch styling inspired by dirty dozen / smiths W10, a lug to lug of just 45mm, and a well designed bracelet (with on the fly microadjust and QR springbars). Under a grand and I think you can get 10% off that too.

I think you need to be a bit more specific, like a diver, pilot, etc.
