Any G-shock.

Technically, the Omega Speedmaster was tested by NASA (3x, I believe) to withstand extreme conditions. That makes it, arguably, the best watch objectively speaking.

But, why risk such a beauty when a $100 g-shock will fit the bill.

The Omega Marine. First dive watch, 1932. (Also, the first divers extension on the strap.)

Looks like a Hamilton M69-3 , likely from the late 60's. That watch had a 688 movement, made in Switzerland. (If you open it, 688 should be written on the movement.) At that time, Hamilton was an independent watch co, headquartered in Pennsylvania. It shut down the US operations, probably in the '80s. It later became part of the Swatch group.

No quartz. Tissot, Hamilton, Mido, Christopher Ward...

Yes, I think you can find them on line for about $550. They are a great entry level watch. Probably the cheapest watch you can get with an anti magnetic silicon hairspring, like Omega and Rolex use.
