Have you considered the orient flight?
The seiko has a very similar style “field/military/pilot”
Orient is under the same umbrella of seiko-epson.
The dimensions are in the range you are looking for but it only has a date function and the orient logo can be hit or miss with people.
I have 3 orients and 3 seikos and they all perform the same to me. I don’t track them down to the second but I did start using a watch accuracy app to see the bph graph but not sure it risks magnetism due to the cellphone speaker.
Part of the fun is the hunt and research of something that stood out. Somehow the ones I end up liking are usually discontinued and I’m late to the game
