I will soon be becoming a father and an looking to celebrate by buying a watch that I can pass on to my son as a family heirloom down the line. Below are some of my key requirements:

Ideally a field watch
Under $1000
Durable and relatively easily serviceable

Currently, I am leaving towards Baltic Hermetique, although I am not sure how well it fares on point 3. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Baltic uses chinese movements with less common features like micro rotors. I think this is not ideal in terms of serviceability. You should look for watches with ETA or Sellita movements. Those are affordable and so popular that every watchmaker can fix them.

Makes sense. Glad I posted here. Thank you.

Glad I could help. As suggested already by others, Hamilton is a really good choice for your budget.
