German watch brands might be a viable option. Stowa, Laco, Damasko, Hanhart, Guinand. If you don’t mind smaller Swiss made options - Nivada Grenchen also comes to mind - especially if you want a well priced chronograph.
Grey market Omega can be very well priced too.
You should give baltic, yema, lorier, and traska a shot too.
Look into Bulova, specifically their Acutron line
Sinn, Longines, Oris.
Having owned both Hamilton and Tissot I consider Hamilton to be superior.
If you want a brand new rabbit hole to dive down look at vintage. My first Oris (1998) and second Omega (1970) are both vintage and are gorgeous and very well priced.

Oris and Tudor are not on the same price level, with the former being on average around 40% cheaper. If you are considering Longines, Oris is 100% within your budget. Both solid choices for entry level luxury watches, but Tudor would be a step up from those, in my opinion.
I have been also considering Mido myself, design wise they have some solid offering but can't comment on the quality, not enough in person time.
I really like Mido
Longines, Baumé et Mercier, Nomos, Junghans. That's a really odd price honestly. Certina, Rado, and Zodiac are all good with less brand stock. Some of the upper line Seiko Prospex and Presages.
