Field Diver???
I looove this Seiko field watch diver mod, but there's no way I'm paying someone $100's for one from someone who isn't THE watchmaker in question, plus I'm not taking into account whether it's actually ethical to buy a modded watch in the first place.
But it remains that I do love the aesthetic of a diver without a (often huge) bezel.
Do these watches exist in their natural form?
Any suggestions for my next purchase welcome please 🙏

With the huge lume plots, the only one that comes to mind immediately might be the Black Bay 36? It’s not a field watch at all but reads very similar. Maybe another would have been the Maen Greenwich GMT - again, not a field watch but similar looks.
It is possible I’m misunderstanding exactly what you’re looking for, but these came to mind:
Scurfa
and Unimatic
The Unimatic does have a bezel but it isn’t as prominent as many (at least to me).
i believe this one is the closest from what you want. its a seiko too
I wouldn’t worry about the ethics here. Somebody bought that watch from Seiko, so they got paid for their work. Unless a person mods a watch and tries to pass it off as a factory Seiko, I say it’s their property and they can do as they please.

Big Idea Design did a collaboration with RZE to make a titanium field watch with a rotating bezel
Or if you want a dive watch with a more discrete bezel Clemence Watches make a nice one
