I think the Tudor BB36 is a great option. At 36 mm it’s highly wearable but still has got a huge dial that’s easily legible. No rotatable bezel to get stuck/damaged. It’s robust and the ETA 2824-2 is a movement that is known to preform well for decades. The lume is excellent and the fabric strap is also nice. Also list is something like $2600 usd on bracelet. Great go anywhere do anything watch!

Look at Sinn and of course Seiko.
Omega can fill that niche too. Second hand IWC might have something, and breitling as well (although they tend to be large- try their ladies sizes). What functions do you require? Any other preference? Date/no-date; day, stopwatch, quartz/automatic/hand winding; chronograph etc. |
