Per the title, I am looking for a watch without a battery that i can wear underground without too much care as it no doubt gets beaten up over time. Nothing too fancy, probably around $750USD budget.
A couple of options that I am currently looking at:
Tissot PRX 80 with black dial
Seiko 5 110th Anniversary Special Edition Watch - SRPK41K (Current leader except I am unsure about the “Hardlex Mineral Crystal Glass”)
Hamilton KHAKI FIELD MECHANICAL 42MM
There is also the Adina Automatic Underground Country Master Work Watch NK151 S2FB, but i am not really into the dial.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Try looking for divers as they are quite durable, go for the certified ones but to start with some good ones are citizen promaster, orient kamasu/mako, tissot seaster powermatic…
