You have got watches with strong heritage to designs of the 50s/60s, which I like. You could continue that with a Navitimer, but you've got a chrono. Maybe for a different look, a smooth bezel like an Explorer or Milgauss?

So many choices.

I would got either blue or white dial.

Blue list:
TT Sub bluesy
DJII blue dial
VC Overseas
AP Jumbo

White dial
AP RO
AP Diver (rubber strap might be a nice option)
VC Overseas

Good luck and enjoy the search!

haha, thanks for all the replies. I've seen some pretty interesting suggestions. I do like icons, yes, but a dress-watch would be a nice add too. Its funny how your opinion on some watches change in time. At first i really disliked Panerai. For me it looked like a 20 dollar watch. Now i really like the radiomir case (still think the luminor is not that pretty). AP, Nomos, Panarai, Rolex, JLC.....to many flavors

If sticking with Rolex, Daytona would be a nice fit or something with a little color?

BLNR, LV-C, or white Exp II to add some color variety.

Or if you aren't much for models with dates, a white 116520 or 116500 Daytona.

Navitimer - if you want something a little different. but that having a breitling would give you the BIG 3.

I will say a Milgaus or a polar explorer just to add some white to mix things up.

216570 Explorer II Polar would be my recommendation. 42mm like the Omega, although it wears slightly larger than the Omega.

I'd get a 116610LN or a 116710LN if I could live without a glidelock clasp and a quick set date.

I predict 39mm Explorer I.... Would be a great fit for your black and white no date collection. Another timeless classic (in modern form).

GMT or Explorer II Polar. Since both your dials are black maybe go for a different color.
Tons of options of you go to more of a dress watch.
You already have a chrono so I would hesitate on a white dial Daytona unless you move the speedy.

May consider to add a more dressy model, like DJ or DD.
