I love the date complication. I thought Day/Date was a little bit too much, but then I deployed on an aircraft carrier with one and quickly changed my mind.
I can't stand the magnification bubble though. Guess no sub for me.

I'm wearing my Diver's 65 right now, and can confirm, it's a great watch. Strap monster too, I have half a dozen straps and one ss bracelet that I'm constantly switching between.
OP, if able, try to see this watch in person. It really doesn't photograph well due to the extremely domed crystal. Its stunning in person!
Usually it was my Oris Diver 65. I had a few cheap watches before that that I never really bonded with, and they were all forgotten when I got the Oris.
I got my Bremont MBII (MH-60R) shortly before I got out, so I had that for my last workup cycle. Normally I wouldn't get the day date, but I wanted the 60R model and that's what it was. It turned out to be extremely useful, and I don't think it looked too bad since both of the wheels were color matched with to dials, and with the lettering in white (Oris does this as well).
I had a cheap quarts chrono before the Oris that I eventually stopped wearing because a highly domed hesalite crystal and tight metal passages and doorways do not work well together. But, having a stopwatch immediately available led me to time most of the evolutions I encountered, everything from how long does it take to get from point a to point b, to how long does it take to pull a helo out of the hangar. It led to me having amazing time management skills!
