CW dune 65
Love it, way too small :(
What’s in the picture?
Citizen NB0070-57e
Oris diver 65.
Or if you're willing to go vintage Seamaster 300 ST 165.024
Loads of vintage offerings actually. But the omega just my favourite.
Rado Captain Cook.
Yarrr matey
As long as you don't mind the crystal being acrylic and not sapphire, I think Lorier do some really nice vintage inspired pieces for under $1000.
I would recommend the Oris 65. I owned one for a couple years, and the distortion was pretty wild
The original Tudor Heritage Ranger that was replaced a couple of years ago.
Baltic has some domed crystals. I have the Aquascaphe Dual Crown in PVD Black and get compliments on its raised glass all the time
I personally think the Hamilton Khaki Pilot day date fits this mold. I am always playing with the dome distortion youre talking about and it definitely has some wrist presence. 42mm but all dial also called the Coop
Tudor Heritage Ranger with the ETA movement has a neat dome.
Also the longines spirit had a nice dome IIRC.
Bulova devil diver (yea I know, shitizen) I really like mine and I got a killer deal on it.
Sounds like you need a Vostok. Vintage designs, cool distortion from acrylic crystal, and tough as hell.
Finishing is not top notch, but the value proposition of an in house movement and iconic designs for less than $100 is too good.
Scuba dude with the 120 case looks most similar to the pic.
