[Celebration Watch] Help me pick a watch—$4000 budget (alien.top)

Lots of milestones this year (2023). Got engaged, acquired a difficult (and expensive) certification, and am about to start a new career.

Photo used is the Chronomat GMT 40 which is what I have my eye on but I’m seeking recommendations to see what I’m missing out on.

I’ll probably never use the GMT feature and this watch only comes in GMT. I like the subtle pop of color on the red hand though.

Here’s what I’m looking for—

LNIB or BNIB condition at ~70% off retail, full kit
OEM bracelet
$4000 max
GADA, everyday watch
Non-chronograph
No numerals on hour markers (on bezel is fine)
Must have date window (no day)
Reputable brand (Breitling, Omega, Longines, Tudor, etc)
Very modern (2020 and later), no vintages
39mm - 40mm
black dial for versatility

I think the Breitling is a great choice, that’s a good looking watch. I prefer it over a Longines or Tudor. I used to have a chronomat chrono and got a lot of compliments; it worked well on leather too.
