Looking for a daily diver ( no tudor had a bb58):
At least 200m water resistance
Date complication
Under 40mm
20mm lug width, strap monster
Versatile as possible
Cosc preferred but not essential
Budget max £$ 5k
Nothing vintage

Formex reef?
CW C60 Pro 300. They sell this in 38mm, in addition to 40 and 42.
You go diving daily?
Why didn’t you like the BB58? Checks all the boxes

Got tired of the vintage look
I like the suggestion of the Formex Reef, but you will need to wait until the new one is out for those dimensions. The CW is another great pic. I am going to throw out a change up: Monta Skyquest. What no OceanKing? Hear me out. First look at it:
Comes in a few variants; Opaline, Gilt, or Black. Pepsi and Coke dials.
300M WR
Date
40.7, but wears smaller
Best bracelet under $5K
20mm lugs
Looks good on a ton of straps
Now, it has a 24 hour bezel vs. countdown, so not sure if that matters.
I would say an Aquis 39.5, but it has limited straps. You could try the Hydroquest
This will be from left field, but it technically checks all the boxes (Nomos adjust to cosc accuracy although they don't send their watches in for testing).
