Does this watch exist?

Been trying to find a watch with the following features. I'm not sure if it exists.

Hand wind, 36-38mm, date, lume hands, domed acrylic crystal, swimmable.

Closest I've found is the Hamilton Mechanical, but it's sapphire crystal (although slightly domed). l'd have thought this combination of features would be in demand. There's lots of autos that fit the bill. But I love the purity and thinner cases of the manual winds.

Is there a vintage seamaster that ticks all those boxes?

Hard to tick all boxes. You're looking for a vintage watch you can dive with. For example this link, vintage Seamaster 120, 37mm, hesalite crystal, but it's automatic and if you dive with it you must be out of your mind. I'd say the best option - albeit automatic/sapphire - is the new Seamaster 300.

I believe that the Smiths PRS-29A should meet those criteria, if you don't mind an ETA movement. It has the added bonus of being both attractive and affordable.
