Searching for my perfect Quartz

Got something coming from Aliexpress, (my 1st order) it's the Baltany quartz S204041 black dial on leather,

I'm sure it wont be perfect but it looks to tick a few boxes I am wanting, I'm the problem I want sapphire, it has to have a date and a screw-crown and be really legible, I love the look of military watches and I still have a very good MWC which does tick all the boxes, but still the quest goes on,

Finding the ideal quartz is not easy, I've had the Hemel Swat which was great but a little on the small side and the date was very hard to see with my eyesight so now sold on,

I would love to here of any recommendations having all of the above attributes and more if possible, like the seconds hand hitting bang on all the markers would be great, any make or model for consideration under £300 any idea's?

Great, 🙄Just seen the Baltany I've ordered is available for slightly cheaper on the UK website with a Halloween discount code today "Spooky" getting £15 off if anyone's interested, darn it.

Same as the buddy up, but in smaller size :

Titanium with 200m of WR, domed sapphire crystal, ecodrive solar radio-controlled (only in japan but there is a workaround and it's really accurate in itself), incredible lume, perpetual calendar in a very wearable 39x45mm

Had a couple of the Ray Mears Citizens a while back , yes very nice but been there done that, I'm getting so fussy in my old age!, not quite sure why I moved them on, they lasted quite a while though but ultimately got moved on,

The Citizen PMD56 was one I thought I could go for but the fact we don't get the signal is a big turn off otherwise it looks fantastic.
