I follow gnomon watches regularly and im a fan of independent/ smaller watchmakers. A very interesting Japanese model popped up on my feed today - closer to the lower end of your price range, automatic, SS bracelet and a gorgeous textured dial (comes in a few colors - some limited with varying prices - nothing ridiculous though) see through case back with blued rotor really caught my attention- also love the fact that it’s sort of a unique timepiece that you wouldn’t find at the mall. Also pretty versatile at 39mm.
Oh and did I mention the 100 meter water resistance? And date complication?? Looks like a whole lotta watch for that price! Definitely worth checking out.
