[Question] What are some of your favorite iconic budget watches? (alien.top)

I feel like a lot of the love for budget brands like Seiko, Orient, Tissot amongst watch enthusiasts ties to tribute watches, aka watches that are presented as more affordable alternatives to iconic luxury watches, be it the seiko tank, the steel integrated bracelet watches, that have been coming out lately, lacos flieger watches etc.

While I have a lot of love for tribute time pieces, I would like to know, what are some watches from budget brands, that have brought something different and unique to the table, and have claimed an iconic status entirely on their own merit.

The first ones that come to my mind is the original G-Shock Square from the 90s, and the Seiko SKX,

I would love to hear your picks.

This is what Seiko did and does so well, even now with lower specs and higher prices. They are still churning out iconic budget watches.
