Daily Domestic and Light International:
Omega SpeedMaster Automatic Chronograph
Heavy International:
Seiko (Prospex) Alpinist on a NATO strap. I actually use GMT/Zulu time so it's useful for me to have that reference on a watch.
Alternatively, I found a niche watchmaker here in the states that is an awesome buy. They use swiss movements, sapphire crystal, stainless steel body, screw down crown, superluminova c1 (white) dail paint, 120 click bezel (So you can set odd hour adjustments on the bezel correctly).
It's an automatic self winding watch, so no battery, with a smooth second sweep hand, and it comes with an extra rubber strap if you'd rather that than the stainless steel band. I got the GMT version because I use GMT/Zulu time in my work and it's handy to have that reference immediately available.
I've looked, and you will not find a similar quality watch for less than 1500.00 minimum, and usually closer to 2200 or more. The BI is 440.00 all in, has a warranty, and is a limited production number. They'll make 500 of the GlobeMasyers and then they're done. I have number 31.
